OT sad baby news

[Young Ed]

My wife belongs to a forum similar to our own little group of all Moms that were due 12-11. Someone in the group was involved in a car accident and lost their 6 month old son. These are people we've never met but just like our group talk to daily and grow to love like family. Say a little prayer for the parents and hug your loved ones.

Ed,

I can only imagine that you've had so many folks read this with no responses because it's striking too close to home. When one of our members becomes ill or passes away it's something to which we can all relate because of our ages and that we're all adults; a child isn't supposed to die and when one does it evokes emotions none of us want to feel. There are many prayers and thoughts that have already gone out, including those of Lynn and I, but they're just too difficult to verbalize here.

Bless those young parents in their grief and help them to carry on.

Thanks for posting so as to give us a direction in our commiseration.

-Lynn & Randy St. John

very sorry to hear about this Ed, just isn't right.

My Brother has been a paramedic for 20 years, unfortunately, He has seen too many dead children,including babies,child murder victims etc.

I really beleive the long term effects on Him are quite severe, much worse than any of my prison work experiences.

I attended quite a few jobs whilst working with the Forensic Crash Unit that involved death or serious injury to persons. The worst weekend that I worked involved 3 separate traffic crashes with the death of 8 people. I still find that the jobs involving small children are often the most difficult to cope with. I have managed to cope over the years with the death and carnage on our roads that I often encounter in my occupation. I personally feel for any person who has encountered the tragic loss of friend/family or loved one, and also for those that have had to conduct inquiries and investigations in relation to the same.
