Need your thoughts and prayers
My daughter was born last night at full term but her cord was tied in a knot. She did not make it. I will get through this but my wife is destroyed. I'm not a religious man but if you are please put a word in for my wife. She is going to need it. This is a life changing event out of nowhere that I could have never imagined.

Richard:
There are no words that any of us can say that will make this situation any better. None of us can begin to imagine what you and your family are going through. I am sure you and your family will get through this eventually but it will no doubt be a long road.
Although we live relatively close together, due to my crazy schedule, we have never met. If there is anything I can do to help you, please call on me. I sincerely mean that. If it is to come over and help you with something or you just need to come by and have a beer and talk, I really mean it. My cell is (214) 354-6835.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Richard, I am very shocked to hear this - it hurts me, too to think about it.
I am guessing this occured before delivery, and if so then unfortunately, nothing really could have been done to avoid it. That's the sad part about life - it is never perfect.
I offer my sincere condolences to you and please pass on you your wife also (I think she might remember me from when i was there.)
I am deeply sorry that it happened this way.
You have my number and i am just up the street if you need any help with anything or just want to talk. I will be home this weekend and can drop by anytime if you want some company (or I can pick up some eats for y'all since noone would probably feel like cooking dinner). Don't hesitate to call. I know how you must feel.
My prayers are with you all.
Take care...

Richard: Our thoughts are with you, your wife, and daughters. You all will be in our prayers. As Rob and Glenn said, anything, any way we can help, don't hesitate to give me/us a call.

I don't hang out here much, but I saw a link on another site and had to say something.
I am deeply saddened, and sorry for your loss.
Words are so inadequate to express one's feelings to a loss like yours, and text is even more inadequate. I can't even imagine the pain being felt by you, and especially, your wife, . I am lighting a candle in honor of the little life that was taken before it began. I hope this provides some comfort to you and yours. Know that my thoughts go out to you.

Richard, my heart goes out to you and your family. I am so sorry.
My grandson was born March 25 and died April 3 after two heart surgeries. Be sure to talk to big sister about everything, she will amaze you with her understanding, even though none of us can understand this.

Richard.... I am so sorry for your loss. I can't begin to imagine how you and your wife must feel. As a woman, I can't comprehend what your wife must be feeling, to have carried that precious life inside her, only to have something so horrible happen. I'm sure she will be very hard on herself - wondering if she did anything that could have caused it to happen, wondering if she should have done something differently, you know what I mean. Just questions a mother will torture herself with, and all the reassurances she gets, she probably won't believe right now. She will probably feel guilty and blame herself. I know I would be feeling guilty and thinking all sorts of crazy things right now if it were me. It will take a lot of time and patience for her to work through what she's feeling right now.
My heart goes out to her, woman to woman, and to you also. I will certainly keep you both in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of your loss Richard. My aunt and uncle lost their daughter shortly after birth in 1988. It devastated both of them and it took a long while for them to feel like they had their life back. Just take good care of your wife, and yourself.

Prayers sent and also requested thru the United Methodist bishopric. The same thing happened 11 years ago with the little guy who was supposed to be my godson.
Richard, it's rough, but you will get thru it. I have always believed that God never takes anyone without a purpose.
