This is so powerfully sad. It does not take many words to make the heart break with a poem. Oh my..:(

One of my cousins had a stillborn and one of my sisters lost her first just a few hours after he was born, this shows how sad that can be-

What can I say? … except that we'd all rather be glad than sad, eh? :) gw

Yes, and we have a mitzvah/command to be happy, don't we?! So let us hope for and focus on happy occasions! ~ Gershon

Powerful but tragic, it is so heartbteaking when that happens to someone. Tom.

Mere words cannot convey the loss, (as you say). Peace and Good News, Tom
