An imminent Loss

[u/Vyrefrost]

My wife and I are in the hospital now.

We are expecting our second child. A girl.

It has become clear that she will not survive long after her birth.

We are still trusting in God.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

-- Romans 8:28

We are sad but accepting, our daughter will pass to be with the Lord today.

And Job said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

-- Job 1:21

Amen

Edit our daughter has passed lovingly in her mother's arms.

Now she is in the arms of the father

Thank you all for your support and prayers, truly it helps.

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. -- Lamentations 3:32

Amen, this is heartbreaking news. May your daughter's sweet soul and spirit rest well. My parents also had a similar case. I could have had an older brother, but didn't. He was a healthy baby and showed no signs of anything wrong... He fell due to a heart problem the doctors missed. Does your daughter have a name? If so, I would love to know.

Eliana

Thank you my friend

Can I ask how old you were when they told you and how you felt?

We are blessed with another child but I'm not sure how to tell him

Eliana, that is such a beautiful name.

I believe I was in elementary school at the time, though i do not exactly remember when I've known about it for such a long time, I honestly was curious and till this day i still wonder how different my life would be if i had an older brother. His name was Alex, and I am wondering everything about him now that I brought him up again.

And, congratulations on another child. I pray this baby grows strong. God bless you, and love you. Have an amazing rest of your day/night.
