Back in March when I first returned to work from my "mat leave". I wrote about being upset that I wasn't warned one of the associates was pregnant. I have nothing against this person it was just difficult to come to work and be faced with a baby belly every single day.
As time progressed the belly got bigger of course. I was interested in her pregnancy but not brave enough to personally start a conversation with her about it.
I knew through a co-worker that the baby had some sort of heart condition, that the baby was a boy.
After I stopped working there I kept in touch with some people and I asked to be informed once the baby came.
Well I just heard today that the baby has died. The associate went on her mat leave a couple weeks ago and a week later everyone was informed that the baby had passed. I don't know all the details, it doesn't really matter.
All I know is that this is sad sad news. My heart aches tonight.

So sad... I'll send up a prayer for her and her baby...
I am so sorry, this is terrible news. My heart breaks for the mama and for you. It is so hard to hear stories like this when you know how it feels to lose your child. It's like it just reopens the wound. Thinking of you, my friend.
That's terrible. When I have to be around pregnant women, I feel bad because they still have a chance to have what I can't, but I know that none of us want anyone else to have what we do have.
Do you know if there is anything we can do to help since she is here? Do you have any way too find out if she has the contact info for the local support groups? One of the Angel Whispers founders lost her daughter to a heart defect too.
Car....
I have her address and am sending a card & note. I have included my contact information.
When I lost Gavin the hospital did give me the information regarding the support groups and resources available. She delivered at the Alex as I did so I hope she received those things to.
I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for this women at your work. I'm sorry for anyone who goes through the pain of a loss. We are a much to large, sad "club". If our tears were all collected the world would be covered with them.
I wish us all happiness and beautiful rainbow babies in the future. And, of course, some relief from our pain no matter how slight. **hugs**
How awful.
