I cannot take any more sad news this week

One of my coworkers had twins on Saturday. We found out this afternoon that one of them passed away on Sunday. I am so, so heartbroken for her and her husband. I just keep thinking how excited she was before she went out on leave a couple of weeks ago.  And now to have to mourn one baby while trying to take care of the other. It's just unfathomable.

If you're the praying sort, or even the sending-good-vibes-to-random-people sort, please send your good thoughts their way. They could use them.

Ugh. I have no words. I will be thinking of them.

I'm so sorry. I'll be praying for them. A friend of mine had that happen a few years ago, it was devastating.

Thanks, everyone. It's so awful. They've asked that we not send condolence gifts, but, of course, everyone wants to do SOMETHING for them. I think we may take up a collection and either send food/gift cards for food in a week or two.

Ugh, so tough.  I definitely think food or gift cards for food is a great idea.  Everyone needs to eat.  It doesn't need to be a condolence gift either if they don't want to think of it that way.  People send new parents food all the time.
