Hurts to read, especially considering this one mistake will likely change the entire trajectory of this man's family's life.
You guys really appreciate how random life is...like, if you have a family, you can spend so much time making plans for them and their future...and then something crazy as hell happens and, suddenly, all your plans mean nothing?
The baby is dead.
The daddy will likely never forgive himself.
The mama/wife, no matter what she says outwardly, will likely be blaming him for a long time.
The daughters are now without a brother and will now have to live with parents who are likely emotionally and mentally compromised from all of this and, they too, will be affected.
Other folks in the family are going to be feeling a certain type of way as well.
I'm not sure what kind of emotional support one could even offer the father in a case like this.
All because of one mistake.
Seeing this sort of thing just reminds me of the fragility of life and how everything one does as a parent - big or small - affects the babies in some way or another.
