Sad Sad News from My Daughter

I just got the news a few minutes ago.

My older daughter, the mother of two of my granddaughters and one grandson, found out before Christmas that she was pregnant again. She's had some problem pregnancies before and had had two miscarriages, so they've been very concerned about this one, too.

Well, just today she went to the doctor and has found out that the baby has died. A lot of decisions have to be made at this point and I'd appreciate any of you offering your thoughts and prayers on their behalf.


Thanks

Thanks to all of you for the thoughts and words.

We are people of faith and believe the Scriptures.

As you can imagine, the decision that they face now is whether to risk this again or take steps now to prevent it. She's just a couple of months before her 30th birthday, so, still quite young in that way. And I know they'd love to have one more. So, they need wisdom and courage to make their decision.

And, to you have tread these same waters, my thoughts and prayers to you, too.

thats very sad... my deepest sympathies go to your daughter and family... this is definitely a tough thing to cope with... my sister had very high blood pressure throughout the pregnancy luckily everything went okay but the dr gave odds of about 1 out of 14 that either her or the baby would die and 1:24 that they both wont make it. This will be in my prayers for a long time as it is static, it takes awhile to progress it will always be there... best of luck and God bless...

Thanks again everyone.

I spent some time with her and the family this afternoon. The natural process of aborting the baby has begun. It's a very sad experience.

Please keep a close eye on your daughter. This is the hardest part for her. This can hurt her emtionally for a long time if not her whole life.
