[Jon H]

My name is Jon. So I thought I could do this alone, but I cannot l. My wife and I lost our daughter, my wife was 6.5 months pregnant. There was no reason every test was fine. I understand that this happens frequently but that doesn’t make me feel better. It’s been a little over a month and I believe I’m getting worse. I know times heals but I need help getting through the I don’t care about anything phase I’m in. This makes me a bad person but, I don’t care about my relationship, life, anything…

Dear Jon,

I am deeply sorry for the devastating loss of your precious daughter. You and your wife had 6.5 months of planning, excitement and wonder, with a much loved child on the way. To have lost this baby when everything was deemed fine must be shocking and undefinable for you both. 

I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hope you find some comfort in the above resources that Reader gave you. I can only begin to imagine your loss. Xo
