My sister has lost her baby

**Liviam** · February 11th, 2011, 04:12 PM

My poor sister is currently in hospital being induced after finding out that her precious little baby has died

.
She is 28 weeks and is being induced today. She has asked for us to come and meet bubby which I am more than happy too. After all bubby is our neice/nephew regardless of anything.
I went to work last night and have got a few beautiful bubby outfits, some wraps and a croqueted blanket for her to dress bubby in, an outfit to be buried in and one for her take home as a keepsake. I've also got her a teddy bear to hold when she leaves hospital as no mum should ever leave with empty arms after giving birth.
It is such a bitter sweet day. My sister is able to become a mum for the first time but she isn't ever going to hear her baby cry, or watch him/her reach any milestones, sit by bubbys bassinette watching them sleep.
I am just devestated for her. No one should ever bury a child let alone one who hasn't even taken a breathe.
I'm just sitting here waiting for the phone call to say my beautiful neice/nephew has been born

I just don't know what to say to her - I know there are no right words

Thank you for letting me scream/cry/vent in such a safe place.

I'm so sorry for your sister and your whole family. This is truly tragic. So many babies are becoming angels at the moment and it is heartbreaking.
But wow what a wonderful support she has in you.

I'm so sorry

nothing prepares you for that phone call, and it is so devastating, even being the Aunty

Big big hugs to you and your sister xxx

I'm so sorry to hear of her loss... an extremely painful experience I'm sure... please check out this link as I'm sure they could be of some help with her emotions a little later but need to be consider now :-( not easy at all

I'm so sorry, to you and your sister and your whole family

What a wonderful, supportive sister you are, I love the idea of taking her a bear to cuddle when she leaves the hospital - no mum should have to leave hospital without her darling baby
