It is with a heavy heart that I find myself here due to my friends recent loss.

It's all still such a shock.

My beautiful friend was 36wks, she'd been in hospital for 2 wks as they were monitoring her due to her and bubs both having too much fluid in their bellys. They were going to extract fluid from both of them today sometime and told her they'd deliver next week.

She'd had a bad feeling abt it all last night and asked to check the heartbeat several times before she went to sleep.
That would be the last time she would hear it.

I'm absolutely devastated for her. She was having a Caesar this evening.

Sorry if this is a ramble but I just need to get it out. My sister lost her little man at 22wks due to complications so I know she has such a long and heartbreaking journey ahead of her.


My heart breaks for anyone who has to go through this.

Fly free little man... You are loved so much.

I an so sorry your friend's son has found his angel wings.

She has got a great friend in you to help her through this heartbreaking journey of her life. Just be there for her and support her during this time, I am sure you have an idea on how to support her since you supported your sister as well on lose of your nephew.

RIP little man

This is terrible and I cannot imagine what your poor friend must be feeling right now. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her angel.
She is a lucky lady to have a beautiful friend like you to help her through this.
