My eyes are burning right now.

A co-worker of mine went on maternity leave in March and had her fourth child (I think) in Easter. She had a girl. This morning though, her baby died. Apparently, she fed her, burped her and put in her crib. She left the room for a while, came back and the baby wasn't breathing. The husband of another co-worker tried to resuscitate the infant, but nothing worked. Now I know some people are going to say stuff like this happens, but when I heard, I was so saddened and angered. I mean, you have rapists, murderers and pedophiles walking about to cause collective lifetimes of hurt. That girl didn't even have a shot at life. I feel so badly for her mother. The grief and guilt must be killing her. I'm sitting here trying to fight the tears but it's hard. She wasn't related to me or anything, but I can't help feeling crushed. Sometimes, I'm convinced there is NO justice in this world.

Well despite that you don't want to hear it, these things DO happen, cot death happens, and yes it is a shame, but you can't fight what happens...sorry to hear though. 🙁

My condolences.

That's terrible. 🙁

That is awful 🙁
I cannot begin to understand how her parents must feel.

I don't mean for this to be any sort of "these things happen" kind of answer, but the sudden death of infants is something that exists, and the medical field just can't seem to find the answer for it. It's a terrible thing, it really is. It's something any woman with child, or that wants a child would fear. It really is a shame.

thats really sad 🙁

agreed.

horrible

I'm sorry to hear of such tragedy GG. Life is not easy....we have to live with sorrows. Hang in there.

That sucks, GG.

Seems only the good die young.

Be strong.

That sucks. I feel bad for the mom the most. She'll never really get over this.

Sorry to hear about that, GG.

Hopefully, you'll be able to recover from this.

Very Sad.
My Condolences.

That's a ****ing sin 😐

s.i.d.s. is just ****ed. no warning signs, no precautions you can take...sorry for your friend's loss.

I hope her other children will be okay too. When shit like this happens, it can screw up a mother's mentality, and she may act erratic near or towards the kids. Hope the family can cope.

It's a nightmare no parent should have to experience.

Thanks a lot, bro. And that's some real shit. I should know better, but I still can't understand why. Makes me want to go out, find a rapist or murderer and chop his nuts/hands off. I mean life is gift, man, and if you use the strength you have to hurt or kill others, you forfeit your chance at normal, peaceful life, you know what I'm sayin'?

I hear you, Selphie. I hope that one day they can.

I know, Walshy. And I HATE funerals. Also, I've never been to a funeral for an infant, man. It just ain't right.

I'm just praying it doesn't happen to anyone else. This world already has too much sorrow in it. I mean ****!

Nope. She might always feel guilty about it and might end up what if-ing the whole situation.

Tell me about it. I can't think about it without getting angry.

Thanks, Scheter. It probably could not have been helped, anyway.

It'll take time. I don't have any kids and couldn't imagine even beginning to cope with something like that let alone get over it, but I'm learning that wounds do heal, some just take longer than others.

Thank you all for your kind words.

I've been to one, actually I was a Paul Bearer at one, and I would never wish it on anybody. That day was the hardest day I think I've ever had watching my baby cousin just laying there in her tiny pink coffin surrounded by her favorite toys. 🙁

If my kids die before me, I think I'll just straight up blast myself.

I couldn't image what the mother is going through, GG.
