Something awful has happened. My friends baby grandson who is 12 weeks old died suddenly in the night. He was perfectly healthy. My heart is breaking for her and all of their family. I don't know what to say. I feel so sad. How am I going to get through the funeral? I'm really scared about it. I know theres nothing I can do other than to be there.....its just so horrible. Its just not fair!!

What a devestating sadness to you and your friends family. Please know that you will help them just by "being there". There are no words that will help with the pain right now.

I pray for all of you, strength and love to get through this very difficult time.

Love and hugs
J

"How am I going to get through the funeral" -- kindergirl, cry and share your unhappiness and sense of unfairness with the family; no one can/should "get through" someting this horrible.

Last summer my son/daughter-in-law had a friend lose their child who was learning to swim in a drowning accident. My husband and I went to babysit our grandchildren a couple times the next month or two to free up the son/daughter-in-law to just go be with their friends. There's a lot of comfort in just being around others you know and trust and who "understand" your grief, maybe you can help your friends that way.

Thank you all for your kind words. Life can be so cruel can't it.!! I went into chat, but unfortunately I upset people, who left because they didn't want to talk about dead babies!!! Not my intention.......just sharing a bit of my grief!! Maybe I should just stick to posting!! Thank you again for your kind words of support. xx

that's okay, kindergirl. you didn't intend to upset anyone in your chat, you were looking for comfort.

I'm so sorry about the baby. It is so very sad when a baby dies and so hard to understand, especially when the baby is apparently healthy. There is no easy way to deal with this; just be emotionally honest and let your tears come as a tribute to this little one's short sweet life. It's a comfort to the parents knowing others share their grief. No words are even needed; a hug and and "I'm so sorry" will show your support of the family at such an exhausting and hard time.
