Hi all. One of my friends delivered a stillborn last night, around 10pm. This is the 3rd time she's had to do that. She gets to be about 4-5 months along, then for some reason, the baby dies & she has to go through the process of laboring & delivering the tiny baby. She's too far along for a regular D&C.

She has 3 children, so please be praying for them as well. They all know the Lord, so there is some comfort in that. They will be having a small service for the baby, but I'm not sure when.

As a mother, my heart just aches for her. Please pray for her & her family during this unimaginable time.
 
Oh my goodness, so sorry!! That must be heartbreaking to them! My prayers are with your friends and their loved ones as well. God Bless.
 
Oh I'm so sorry Sarah - how horrible for your friend and her family. Praying for them to get through this extremely sad time.
 
Oh that's terrible. I'm so sorry for her. Same thing happened to my best friend and that's got to be one of the most horrendous experiences. I can't believe your friend has had to go through that more than once.!:(
