As someone who recently became a mum for the first time, my heart breaks so much for you and I just can't imagine how difficult this all must be. My throat starts to close when I try.

I'm so sorry.

At the same time, and I know this might sound odd, but congratulations on your beautiful baby girl. Even with the pain of inevitably losing her, you have surely glimpsed the infinite pleasure that is meeting your child. I'm sure she is a special little girl to be carrying the heavy task of touching your lives for such a short time. I wish you every extra snuggly second you can have with her and then a few more.

My question is: do you have a belief system that is helping you through this?

Thank you both for your answers. It is good that you have your faith to guide you through a trial such as this, but also to help you see Lily in her own divine context, which is important. Your family will be in my thoughts.

Kia Kaha (be strong)
