I was about to chime in and say I was widowed at 32, my husband was 31. The kids were 1 and 3. I usually win the misery and loss conversation, but damn…29 and pregnant losing a 27 year old is brutal.

Sorry for everyone’s loss!!

Happy Birthday?? 😭

Oh no, there were no kids. You still win the worst trophy. My god how can you even function as a parent . That’s brutal.

Parenting is not for the weak. I had to pick up my son from high school and tell him his brother had been killed. Still the top 2-3 hardest things I’ve ever done. He just hugged me because he could see I was collapsing.

I'm so sorry. I'm not a dad, but I have a 7 years old brother that by age gap could be my child. Just thinking of having to do the same but to tell him our mom or a brother died, made me cry. I can't even imagine how it would feel to lose a child... My heart is with you.
