devastating. a coworker went through this. it's incredibly heartbreaking--when people say there's nothing more personally devastating than losing a child it is 100% true.

This hit me hard...I remember watching that video where Karlsson finds out that it's a boy and he and his wife are so happy celebrating it with their friends.

It sucks for his family right now but I hope they get the support and love they need from their friends and family to pull through this.

 

[RickP]

It always sucks to hear about stuff like that... I hope him and his family will stay strong.

 

[Frenchy]

My thoughts and prayers for him and his wife . Losing a child is a tragedy, something that no parents should ever have to go through. It's not natural for any parent to leave this world after their child

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Life can be horrible; I wish that it wasn't. My prayers go out to the Karlssons' son.

My heart goes out to Karlsson and his family. This happened to a close friend of mine, he and his wife lost twins on freaking Christmas. Just hearing this kind of news takes the air right out of your lungs. In life there are certain situations that you can never be big enough, tough enough, or strong enough to be prepared for. You just do the best you can and try to move forward because it's the only choice you really have. My friend and his wife did and had a beautiful daughter about two years later. A daughter they never would have had if the twins had survived. My wife had a miscarriage that I took hard, but we wound up having twin boys a few years later. We would never have tried again had the first one made it. So it's hard to understand why if there's a God in Heaven he would let anybody go through this kind of pain, but I believe the world has a way of putting you where you were meant to be, and even if you don't ever figure out why, there's a reason for it all. Maybe there isn't any almighty or master plan and it's all just ping pong balls popping up in the hopper, who knows? It's a sad, sad time. No real words for it. I hope at some point in their lives they will try again and if they do and they have another child there will be a point when they look that one in eye and realize that they are exactly where they were meant to be and that every moment in their lives leading up to it, good or bad, was necessary for them to get there. RIP little one.

What were the conditions of the death?

 

[Clark4Ever]

At 8 and a half months, it's almost the same as losing a newborn. My wife had a very early miscarriage before we had our children, and that was devastating enough.

My heart goes out to EK and his family.

Unfortunately, tragedy strikes good people far too often in life.
