Stunned and Sad

As I write this, some dear friends are experiencing a nightmare that is all too familiar to them. They have just lost their baby boy at twenty weeks, and it is only days before the first anniversary of their son Alex's stillbirth.

I don't understand. I will never understand how the universe could be so cruel.

Still, because I love my friends and because I feel so helpless, I pray these useless prayers.

Ugh - this breaks my heart! I will add my own useless prayers and just hope that they don't go through any more misery in their attempt to build a family.

So sorry to hear about this.

I read about them on another blog I frequent. I can't imagine the devastation they must feel. My heart goes out to them.
