re: Have any of you had a child die ?

A person very close to me found out she had a baby that had no brain and no kidneys. She was totally heartbroken and made the brave choice to terminate the pregnancy at 23 weeks since her child had no chance of survival.

She's an advocate for woman now that they medical care is between a family and doctors.

She still talks about the baby and they were able to give her the baby's footprints. She had them tattooed on her with wings on the side and the baby's name.

She had two more living children but always tells people that she is a mother of three and happy to tell her experience. The way it was explained was the pain never leaves but your emotional muscles become stronger from the constant use.

Life can be pitiless.
