Hello Amy .. read please:::: Monday from the child’s parents who woke up to find their three-month old infant “unresponsive at the residence
@Amy
What about the father.
So Sad..prayers sent to this family
What a horrible thing to go through. It sounds like SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome) or possible undeveloped lungs. Prayers for the family especially the mom. There’s a natural instinctive feeling us moms go thru when our infant dies – empty arms syndrome. You can’t control it out of the blue your arms will draw together painfully like a muscle ache to hold that infant if breastfeeding then your shirt will get soaking wet. Very sad time for the mother at this early stage. Prayers prayers for them.
Our prayers go out to the parents and family as this is one of the most difficult times for them now to lose a baby.
