I Can't Imagine What She's Going Through

I logged on this morning expecting to read all about Mother's Day from my favorite bloggers.

My heart absolutely sunk when I scanned through my blog roll and saw the post title from Jen @ Maybe If You Just Relax.

I'm sure most of you follow her blog and you've probably already seen the post as well.  If you aren't familiar with Jen, she was pregnant with identical twins after a 2nd successful IVF cycle last year.  One of the twins, Evelyn, was stillborn.  Ainsley was very small but she has survived for the last 17 months.  She's had terrible issues with breathing on her own and has never left the hospital where she was born.

Ainsley passed away over the weekend.

I just can't imagine what Jen and her family are going through right now.  I know she is taking comfort in knowing that her sweet little girl isn't in pain any longer.  But, the pain of loss must be unbearable.

I know God has a plan for all of us but when I hear about something like this, it just doesn't seem fair.   It was horrible enough to lose one baby but losing the 2nd is just... unfair and absolutely heart breaking.

I only know Jen through reading her blog. It's amazing how close we feel to people through what they write. 

Please visit her blog and offer your support or just say a prayer for Jen and her family.

I'm going to give my kids an extra big hug and kiss tonight.  Never take them for granted.
