I just got a phone call....

and was told that my step daughter's 2nd twin has died. They were due to be born in August.

She lost the first about a month ago, and if that wasn't incredibly devastating enough, now the 2nd one.

Hubby and I are going to her house in about a half an hour, just to be there. I called her a few minutes ago, and she is holding her own, but still....The docs are saying they don't know why this happened to her, and are waiting her word as to when she wants to go to the hospital to "finish things up". Geez.

  1. I am so sorry to hear of her loss, and our prayers are with her as well as you all during this time of grief. I pray the doctors are guided with wisdom and perhaps an 'answer' to they why's will be known. As much as we trust The Lord, it's our nature now to have a need for knowledge. I pray you all find comfort and peace in knowing that one day those precious little ones will be known to you all again.

  2. I am so sorry to hear this!!! Having experienced this same loss 7 weeks ago, I feel the sorrow....to go through it twice in the same pregnancy....oh how very sad!!!

    I didn't have a D&C...I super dosed Vitamin C, red raspberry leaf tea and echinacea. Those all prevent infection...and all cleared out on its own. I don't know how far along your stepdaughter was..but perhaps anything further isn't necessary?


    My thoughts and prayers are with you..and her...it's a hard path to walk...just be there to listen, hold her when the tears come...and be available for the same for awhile...it sure helps me..even today...


    Blessings,

  3. I'm so sorry, I must have missed this post before. Words cannot describe how I feel for your daughter. I've also gone through a miscarriage (16 years ago, before my oldest was born) and I still cry over it from time to time. I remind myself that God has His reasons, His ways aren't ours, and that I'm going to have a precious little one waiting for me in Heaven. Give your daughter a hug for me.
