My wife is 8 weeks pregnant with our first. I'm already nervous. Stories like these take my nervousness up a few notches.

Lord God Almighty... that is simply too much tragedy and pain in what should be the one of God's most precious gifts to mankind. How cruel indeed. Prayers to the Husband/FAther and families. I cant remember a more heartbreaking story.

frick death. I'm gonna be going through this in the next few days with my uncle now that his terminal cancer is rapidly speeding up and it's going to be any day now. My aunt is taking it really hard and cousins aren't much better. I just feel so helpless.

Okay, your wife dies, but who in their right mind would post a video of you singing to your dying child in an incubator? Would any of ya'll post a video of any family member of yours that is dying of cancer and you singing to them while they are slowly dying? I think that an individual who plays an instrument and sings, while a close member of their family, is dying is really morbid. Besides, who in their right mind would post a video of their child, mother, sister, brother dying and singing while that family member was taking their last breath?

I've got a knot in my throat right now. Truly puts into perspective just how fortunate I am.

Prayers to Mr. Chris Picco, his wife and son.

Look, everyone deals with things in their own way. Maybe he felt by sharing this, he's giving people who have been through the same thing that feeling that they aren't alone. Who knows. It's not anyone's place to judge.

Worst idea I had was showing this to my 28 week pregnant wife who is now a basketcase.

He is a musician. It was written in an article that his wife said the baby kicked when he played music. This kid was surgically removed from his dead wife, did not move and showed no signs of brain activity and was only alive due to a machine.
in the video, it looks like he is trying to provoke movement with the music like he did when in utero.
its his moment. someone videoed it and put it onto social media. who are you to question the motives? maybe he wanted people to realize how fragile life is.
