EyeSeeU Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I had posted a few months back that I was expecting to be a father in June. Well June 17th turned out to be one of the most devastating days of my life. I was woken up at around 2am to my girlfriend Jenn being rushed to the hospital. She had woke up herself bleeding, turns out that she had a placental abruption. Despite the best efforts of everyone Hunter could not be saved. He was delivered stillborn(full term) 9lbs 3ounces, 22 1/2 inches. 100% healthy after the hospital did all their tests. For a while their I lost myself, it probably could have been worse if I had not already gone through the death of my father years ago. I'm telling you all this because some of you questioned where I was. Quite frankly I may have been in a void, who knows these past weeks have been a blur and I'm just now starting to feel normal, if I even can say that. You really just don't know how fragile life is until its gone, gone before it was even here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croyvern Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 "There should be a law, children should never be allowed to go before the parents" quoted from the Major in the series Soap. IMO its one of the saddest moments in television history. I am saddened by your loss, moreso by my sudden lack for words of encouragement. May the sorrows of the past be outweighed by the joys left in store for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 No matter how much I hate fighting some of you ingame, my eyes become full with tears when I read something like that. My words ain't gonna be the ones that will pull you out of the hole you've been (are) in, but what's done is done. Life goes on. Take care of your girl, she must be feeling hundred times worse than you. Good luck. In times like that, luck IS the most important stat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmajunkie Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Atta boy. We tried getting pregnant again after we lost ours, but it really tore her up psychologically. So bad that she shaved her head for no real reason, withdrew from family and friends...it was rough for us. I'm glad it seems to not have taken that toll on you all. Good luck with everything.

Implementor Anume Posted August 4, 2010 Implementor Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'm so very sorry to hear this. My second child (a daughter) almost died at birth last November, it was a very close thing. So I think I know a little bit, if not quite, how you feel, it's terrible to be in hospital and then realize something goes wrong. Fortunately for us, we were lucky and she just made it and is ok now. I hope you do a lot of screens to make sure everything goes alright this time. Good luck to you and I'll cross my fingers that everythig works out for both the mom and the baby. And mmajunkie, perhaps if you both give yourself a little time you can try again in a couple years, when the pain has dulled a bit. Wish you also good luck.

Dale Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I was very lucky with my daughter (Adison Grace) she was born March 24th. When she was born she wasn't moving or crying. I couldn't do anything but cry for hours until they told us she was going to be okay. I am truely sorry for what you experinced, you must be stronger than me if you survived this long.

KRins Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 We had a similar event in my family last year with one of my cousins. There really isn't anything to say to make things better, but what I try to think of is the fact that this perfect child never once suffered a scrapped knee, a broken heart, or loss. My religious side says, "The child came from God, returned to God, and never once saw the mess Man has made of our world." I don't mean to belittle the situation, just the thought processes that I find comforting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
