Death of young child

SSgt Rilene Ann — Thu, 17 Sep 2015 14:49:27 -0400

I just lost my grand daughter of 4 months on Tuesday. She was healthy and happy at 4pm then stop breathing and not respond when gave her cpr. Autopsy being done. I have helped many with losses but a child is very difficult. Many have contacted telling their loses of young children too so we are not alone. Started gofundme: Chyanne-Rose as found cremation and hospital bills not covered. This makes me see each death as emotions nally ripping your heart but also financial to bear afterwards. My heart goes out to anyone else who has this experience.

This is a sad situation, as you said to lose a friend or loved one is extremely difficult but to lose a child is gut wrenching.

I'm truly sorry for your loss SSgt, but even God needs his angels back sometimes. I went through this with my nephew. He died before I could even meet him, so this is how I think it worked. God needed him more than my sister or our family, and he's helping someone else right now, doing the Lords work. It hurts, but I cannot doubt the Lords plans even if I don't understand.

So sorry for your loss and sadly have an idea of how much pain your child is suffering. I wish I had something more than words to easy the pain.

I'm so, so sorry. I sometimes deal with grieving parents as part of my job, but my mind refuses to grapple it when I put it in the context of my own children. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

This is an old post SSgt Rilene Ann but i just ran across it. I am so very sorry about your loss. I have lost a lot including my wife 16 years ago this Christmas. My sympathies to you and your family. I often think how hard it would be to lose a child. My son has seen me in uniform many times but had no desire to join the military. After losing his mother, I am just as happy he didn't as it would have killed me to lose him in Iraq or Afghanistan. Once again, my sincerest sympathies.
