As everyone knows we are ttc for #1 and both mick and I come from big families and have u ever noticed that when u r trying for a baby all around everyone is either pregnant or about to give birth.

Micks cousin went into labour the other day, through to full term but it was not a happy ending the baby was still born. Of course the family is devastated as r our cousins. I couldnt go to see them but mick did he brought the parents home from the hospital, this has been a shock for both of us to have it happen so close to home is unreal.

Mick was telling me about it he said when he got to the hospital they had the baby girl in the room with them and he could hardly contain his grief, we now here they are thinking of having an open coffin at the funeral which is this week.

My question is how do I help mick through this traumatic experience as well as myself and his cousins. We just dont know wot to say, im at a loss for words. Any advice would be so welcomed

u r all wonderful here and I just dont know wot to do

from someone who cant wait to have a jelly bean all of their own

p.S. Wot makes this story even more unbelievable is that they had no other family where we live except us and when they rang marcia's mother all she could say was it was the best thing that could have happened. Wot sort of a mother says this about their daughter and granddaughter. R ppl really this heartless.
