Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Loss

June 15, 2009 — 7:02 pm

My pregnant coworker, whom I have mentioned several times here before in passing, just received a not-compatable-with-life diagnosis today. She is 18 weeks pregnant.

Please, if you could, send up a thought or a prayer for her and her husband.

No one deserves to join this club. No one should suffer the loss of a child. Ever.

    Oh my god, how horrible. I’m so sorry.

    I hate to refer to you as a “resource,” but if you’re comfortable, let her know there are others out there and that she’s not alone. Keeping her in my thoughts, and you as well. It can’t be easy watching this from your perspective.

    Oh no. I was so hoping that this wouldn’t be the case for her. *cry*

    So unfair.

    Sonofabitch. I’m so, so sorry to hear that. And so many people already knew she was pregnant… it hurts just to think of the questions she’s going to get from people in the coming months.

    I am so sorry to hear that. She will be in my thoughts and prayers. I read a book when I was pregnant with Molly, called Waiting for Gabriel (www.waitingforgabriel.com) that really helped me to make some peace/cope with knowing that our baby girl had a terminal prenatal diagnosis and continuing to carry her/try to bond with her through her birth and short life. I don’t know if it might be helpful for your coworker, but feel free to suggest it. She is lucky to have you in her life, someone that has suffered the loss of a child and can be there to support her.

    Oh shit- this sucks so bad on so many levels. I’ll say a prayer to the big man for her.
