I am so sad right now

I'm sorry Paula. I know how sad it can be. I had a little brother die at 11 days old. It's very tragic. I was 16 when it happened. I remember thinking, did I do something to make this happen? "Why" is a huge question during times like these. I found comfort in talking to a priest during that time. As far as what you can do, just try to be strong for her is my best advice...

I'm so sorry about your brother. My nana lost her first daughter Susan when she was an infant. My extended family was afraid that my parents named me Susan when I was born but I remained healthy. It is such a sad sad thing to lose a child. When I was 16 the state of my hair would devastate me so I can only imagine how it was to try to cope with that kind of loss.
