Default Prayers needed

Last night I got the most horrible news. My son and his wife have been trying to have a baby for a couple of years now. About two years ago she got pregnant but lost the baby after a few months.
Nine months ago we got the news that she was pregnant again and we've all been very excited to meet the new little guy. Her due date was yesterday so I sent my son a text asking if anything was happening. A few hours later I got a call from him telling me that they had lost the baby.

She had been getting cramps and they were thinking that it was time. Yesterday morning she express some concern that she hadn't felt him move for a while. He suggested that they go to the hospital just in case. When they got there, there was no heartbeat. They don't have explanation yet and I'm not sure why I want to hear one, but I do.

It is so heartbreaking as we have been buying gifts for little Duncan. Last Christmas my family loaded her up with baby gifts and I got my son a manly style diaper bag. Everyone has been anticipating his arrival and now it's this.

I don't now what to do. I hardly slept at all last night. It was all I could think of. I feel so bad for my son and his daughter-in-law. She is a pre school teacher and has really wanted kids of her own for a long time.

I'm not sure why I'm writing this but I guess I thought that maybe sharing it might help.

Anyway. thoughts and prayers for my son and daughter-in-law would be appreciated. Thanks for letting me unload.

I'm so sorry. There are no words that can bring comfort right now. Being one of those women who could not bear a child, I understand the pain and frustration. I ultimately adopted my daughter, a decision I have never regretted. Whatever decision your family ultimately makes, it will be the right one. Warm hugs for now.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. My wife was able to have our one son but no more after many attempts. She feels the pain and understands the situation more than I.

So very sorry. I will be praying for you as well as your son and daughter in law. All I can really say is that for some unknown reason, God needed another beautiful baby angel for His kingdom. Someday we will know the reason for such happenings. In the meantime, " Lord, please shed tons and tons of love down on this family who is so terribly heartbroken.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I know many many people will pray for you and the family. Hopefully you will feel some of the love that others, even people you don't know, have in their hearts for you. Please hang tight and stay strong, don't let go of God's love.
May His love always live in your heart.
