My friends, the last 24 hrs have been rough for my family. My oldest daughter was about 24 weeks along in her pregnancy when she started contractions on Sunday. A quick trip to the hospital and they came up with her being dehydrated. After 8hrs of pushing a IV they sent her home only for her to go back after 4hrs at home. Noon yesterday they came to the decision they would have to take the baby. So at 5:07pm she was delivered by cesarian section. Even though weighing just 1lb 4oz she was placed on a respirator and the neonatal people had a positive outlook. Less then 12hrs later things went south and she passed away.
This has hit my wife, son-in-law and #1 grandson pretty hard and my daughter is totally devastated. If you would put them in prayers for help get them over this.

My heart pours out to you and your family. There is never a "right thing" to say when something like this happens. All we can do is look to our God for guidance and pray for healing of the heart. I am so sorry your family has to bear this.
God bless you and my deepest condolences.

The loss of a newborn child has to be one of the most devastating experience in life. Prayer will be offered to provide what is now needed for the family to get through this difficult time of grief. I also offer my deepest condolences to you and your family.

I see God as in control of all that we must go through. My prayers are that His will be done That He provides wus with the strength to bear what we must. We cannot expect life without the valleys but IMO God isn't picking on us for special suffering. The baby isn't suffering. That is for the living to endure. It isn't some form of punishment sent by the all knowing, all powerful God. It is His plan and our job is to deal with it. I don't mean to be blunt or say that you folks don't deserve better. The prayers of a righous man availith much. Hopefully this type of men are praying for you and yours. I feel unworthy of declaring myself rigeous. Still my unworthy prayers are sent for you and yours. May the power and wisdom of the Almighty God help as He sees fit. In His hands nothing is unbearable. Sorry for your suffering and my inability to put into words the healing source. Ozark.

I know it is a week old but I just saw this post. I have two friends who have been through similar deliveries with better outcomes but permanently disabled children. This has been a near devastating burden its self. Your family is in my prayers. I cannot imagine the thought of losing a child at any point in time. May the Lord touch your family and give you peace in your heart. It has to be hurting right now.

I, too, just noticed this. Ken, I am so sorry for the loss you all have endured. May God soothe your anquish. It has been said time and time again that there's a reason for everything. May there be no bitterness for Him. It can be of little consolation, but know your grand daughter is in heaven.

My friends, thank you all for the prayers, thoughts and kind words. We had a graveside service for little Kara today, mainly immediate family. The hardest thing is seeing the pain my daughter is going thru. She may be over 30 but she is still my little girl. Hopefully we are on the path of healing. Again thank you all.

That which breaks the heart is the worst of wounds. Grief is a special type of pain and I pray that God makes this as bearable as possible for all the family. I know it doubles up when you grieve from the baby loss to worry about the living. God Bless and give the family the strength to bear this terrible burden. Ben

Just saw this post....
Hard to find the right words but I hope you and your family pull through this difficult time. Happening around the holidays makes it tough.
Family and friends have a magical way of healing and helping after the initial loss. Sounds like there is a strong foundation of support.
Only time heals deep wounds and the support of close ones.
My thoughts are with you.

Ken......none of us men can know the bonding that occurs between an unborn infant and it's mother. Where we might become disheartened by such a loss to the mother it is devastating. In such times we certainly need to turn to God for comfort and also to those who love God. My prayer is for your daughter's wounded heart. The Father is a healer of broken hearts.
