Father’s Heartbreak: Daughter Died Giving Birth to Stillborn
The Original Post
Back in June my only daughter out of 4 kids was supposed to give birth to her first baby, everything seemed fine throughout the pregnancy and both families were super excited as this was the first grand baby on both sides. While she was giving birth things went so wrong and she lost a lot of blood and unfortunately she died, and her baby daughter was a still born. I was fucking destroyed, I lost both my parents and two of my siblings and my childhood best friend and my damn wife, all of the pain I suffered from all of them combined is nothing compared to this, she was a grown married woman but she was still my baby daughter, I fucking loved her man, burying her was the most painful thing I’ve ever been through. Now it’s Christmas and everyone around me is celebrating with their kids and grandkids and here am I sitting with my baby girl buried in the ground and her body has probably already started rotting away. I miss her so much man, even when she grew up and even after she got married she’d always give me a big hug and kiss on the cheek, I’d never get any single second with her more man, I can’t handle this anymore I swear I can’t man
