Life is so not easy right now. It's one thing after another.
My nephew, who was due to be born Sept 20, had no heartbeat when my sister-in-law went for her check-up on Tuesday. They ran a bunch of tests and confirmed he had passed a few days before. They induced my SIL Wednesday and Baby Mason was stillborn early yesterday morning.
We are all in shock. He was a beautiful baby! We all got to hold him and say goodbye. I think my BIL and SIL are just planning a graveside service. I just can't imagine how she feels right now, but we are all trying to comfort them and make things as easy as possible.
Please just remember our family in prayer. He was their first baby, and she had a little trouble getting pregnant to begin with. The fact that we don't know what caused his death makes things worse. I'm praying it was just one of those things and not something genetic that could happen again.
Trying my best to be good through the grief--being a stress eater is a horrible thing right now! The lack of sleep and yet having to go to work from the hospital (cause your supervisor doesn't care) makes things worse. Caffeine got me through the day yesterday. Don't know how I'll make it through today.

So sorry for your loss! That's a terribly tragedy. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. This happened to a cousin of mine a few years ago, and they had no idea what the cause was either, but she ended up having 2 more kids after that with no problems, so I hope your SIL doesn't have any further issues either.

I hope things go smoothly for them to have more children too. She is a planner, had everything ready til 6 months from now. So, her way of dealing with the loss (after the initial grief) was that she was planning how long it would be before they could start trying again, if the autopsy came back okay. I'm glad she seems to be accepting it, but I'm sure that once she gets back home it will be a different story. I told her to just close the door to his room until she is ready. I'm just trying to do what I can to help in the meantime.
