Good thoughts and prayers, please
 
A friend of mine lost her nine month old baby grandaughter this morning. She was found dead- apparently she slept with her parents and the father rolled over and accidentally suffocated her. I am so heartsick right now. When I actually let myself think of this, I start to cry.

These things DO happen. From the way things are sounding, he may be charged with involuntary manslaughter. No punishment will ever match what he will go through for the rest of his life.

Any good thoughts/prayers sent this way would be greatly appreciated.

My thoughts are being...
 
sent to your friend...And your way too.

Oh no, I am so sorry. :( That is really awful. Your friends will be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry! Thats terrible. Sending good vibes your way and to your friends.

Wow! That is awful Just awful. The father must feel horrible - I can't even imagine :distress:

So sad.

That is a terrible, horrible thing. My prayers are with your friends and their family. Involuntary manslaughter is unimaginable in this situation. I cannot understand that. We rarely see families having babies nowadays....prosecute the moms that did crack or heroin while they were pregnant and had no regard for their fetuses....not this dad. I'm so sorry.

That's so sad. I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and them.

wondergirl9847 08-31-2005 01:17 PM

Omg!
 
That is just horrific, I'm so sorry, Jannie. I'll keep your friend and their family in my thoughts and prayers. :(

GypsySorcerer 08-31-2005 01:33 PM

I'm sorry......that is so sad. :( My thoughts are with all of you.

How horrible! I am so so sorry. I saw a similar case on HBO: Autopsy. A mother had accidentally smothered 2 of her children on 2 separate occasions so it does happen. Babies this small should never sleep in the bed with adults, imo. This is terribly sad and I am so sorry, the father must be beyond comforting. I wish all you guys only the best and I will keep you in my thoughts. Take care ~

How does one's mind deal with something like that? It's beyond imaginable. I am having a hard time dealing with the thought of peoples lives lost to Katrina. It seems every where I turn it gets worse. :sorry:

Janet 08-31-2005 01:51 PM

How does someone live with that?

I am so sorry, so so so sorry.

Prayers are coming your way.

You know, that's kind of how I'm feeling today. It's really been one of those "count your blessings" type days. I also found out this morning that a girl who works for me had a miscarriage. Another girlfriend was in a hit and run car accident this morning (nothing broken, thankfully). Along with Katrina and gas prices, it feels like the whole world is going insane.

Thanks to all of you for your support. xoxo

Janet, I am SO sorry. My thoughts are with your friend, her husband, and her whole family. It's horrible for him to have to live with that.

WildInTheWind 08-31-2005 03:33 PM

That is awful. I am so sorry to hear that happened to your friend. I couldn't imagine....
