you never saw it coming . . .
. . . til it was gone.
My sister didn't show up for work this morning. The lead story on the local news was about an unidentified woman taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Yeah, it was her.
She's in intensive care, on a ventilator, but I don't have any more details. I'm flying down tonight.
For obvious reasons, the confession thread is cancelled.

Its amusing how much drama unfolds on ALL these grief monger's sites. Just an observation. Of course the random reader never knows the truth to any of these reported incidents with multiple baby losses and such. If your stories are true, you Do have terrible luck. But we all get the shit end from time to time. I would like to make a pity party for myself too, but dead babies isnt my particular issue with my life. @ living , 1 misscaraige that i did not even know i was pregnant, and 3 abortions. Yes theres a terrible word .. ABORTION. I can see that might strike a nerve here.. SORRY.
Oh Niobe....thinking of you and your family...
Oh my gosh. I am so sorry. I can't even imagine what's going on in your head right now. I am praying and hoping for the best.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm terribly sorry Niobe. I hope for the best for you and your family.
anon, your post is inappropriate and shows a tin ear for timing and sensitivity. I'm caught between not wanting to give you energy and not wanting to leave your comment unchallenged.
OOOOH HUN I am praying for you
Niobe, I am loving you and yours from these many miles.
Oh Niobe what a dreadful shock for you all. Wishing your sister all the best for a swift recovery.

to anomy~if you had a clue, which you must not anyone who gets 107 comments tend to be more of friends and family not pity whores so my question is are you angry you weren't given any empathy and that is why you are seeking similar people to bash? or are you finding some conscience working on you here? well thanks for trying to set the world right but honestly a name would have been nice, especially if your going to stand on your soap box and preach...maybe staying anony is why your words have little substance. regaurdless your timing is very off, your comments are less than hurtful but ignorant and you are talking to more people with strength than you could muster...so in retrospect, your the one getting the pity...not us.
Thinking of you and your sister ~
I'm so sorry about this. I'm thinking of you and your entire family. ((hugs))
