Sometimes there are things in life that just don't make sense. Life is sometimes heartbreakingly cruel and unfair. It seems especially so in the infertility world. This past Friday, one of our infertility sisters lost her son. He was a healthy 13.5 months old, but for some reason, he didn't wake up from his nap.
No mother should ever have to bury their child. This momma isn't a blogger, but she is a friend of mine from one of my infertility support groups. He was their miracle baby after several miscarriages, and now he joins his angel siblings in heaven.
This news has rocked the world of many among my infertility friends. I wish that none of us had to experience the painful journey of infertility, but more than that, nobody EVER should have to face the devastating loss of a child.
While I am so very heartbroken over this devastating news, I am also uplifted and encouraged by the incredible outpouring of love extended toward this momma and her husband. It's been amazing to see how we can all band together when one of us is in such need of support. I'm incredibly honored to be a part of such a strong sisterhood. Thank you all so much for your friendship.

Oh my gosh this is simply heartbreaking and awful. No one should have to bury their child whether they were infertile or not.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. I think it has to be the worst thing imaginable.
DeleteMakes me cry for the loss your friends are going through as there are no words for that devastation in one's life. Makes me cry for the love that you have for others. You make me so proud! I love you! Auntie
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine. I'm glad they have a strong and loving community surrounding them at a time of such incomprehensible grief. My thoughts are with them.
ReplyDeleteSigh. So sad. I feel so bad for her. There is nothing fair about this.
ReplyDeleteThis is so horrible and terrifying. I'm glad your friend is surrounded with love and support. Now I'm going to go check on my baby.
ReplyDeleteIt is SO terrifying to think that could happen! Definitely makes you squeeze your own babies a little tighter. I've always checked on Ayden and Rylee every night before I go to bed to make sure they're breathing (sometimes twice). This just reinforces the need for me to do that!
DeleteYou're right, life is unfair and I am so sorry to hear this happened to your friend. It's heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an honest real story. I am feeling very bad for her. They have strong affection that acted as support. My prayers are with them.
ReplyDeleteI'm heartbroken over this tragedy. I feel helpless. I just want a magic wand and "undo" this. No mother should know this kind of agony. Like you, I'm blessed to see such an outpouring of support for her and her family. This sweet baby will always have a place in my heart.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to comprehend how this can happen. It's scary and sad and so unfair.
ReplyDeleteThis is terrible and horrible. I hate that things like this happen at all. I can't even imagine.
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly sorry for your friend. Holding her family in my heart right now.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your friend. I recently had a friend lose her 5.5 month old. There is no sense to tragedies like these. If you haven't already, direct her to Still Standing online magazine. My friend has found their child-loss articles very helpful.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for sharing the resource for this online magazine. I have passed it on and hope my friend can find some peace in it as your friend did.
DeleteIt is heartbreaking. To lose a child is the most difficult loss to deal with. I an glad that your sisters group is being very supportive of your friend. I wish my positive thoughts teach out to your friend.
