I forgot about the pull tab thing, when we were kids my sister’s school collected them and my dad owned a soda route. He kept a few pallets of soda in the garage and she got the bright idea to strip a few cases of cans of their tabs. He couldn’t sell them that way so every night at dinner we’d have to punch a few open at home. Normally I would have minded but it was during their I’ll-fated 7up Gold time. God that stuff was nasty.
Angela had a brain hemorrhage Saturday night or Sunday morning. Due to the heparin, which was the reason the hemorrhage happened in the first place, it was inoperable. We made the decision to end life support last night, and she passed in our arms at 5:10pm Monday evening. She was 2 weeks old.
I am broken.
Jesus man. What you guys have been through in the last couple of weeks has been heartbreaking to read about. I can't imagine what it's been like, but I couldn't be more sympathetic to what you've had to endure. I know that there's nothing that anybody can say to make you feel better, but your recent posts have made it sound like you've got a ton of loving family support so don't be afraid to lean on them.
If you need to vent, by all means let us have it. Talk to your wife, family, friends, religious leaders, medical professionals or whoever else you're comfortable with. Keep an eye on your wife as well. Post-delivery can be a difficult time for new moms, even when everything goes well, so make sure that you're taking good care of her, and that her mental state is as good as it can be after having gone through such trauma. Work together to grieve, heal and get through it.
I am so sorry to hear this. I wish I had better words and more to offer you.
Its 5:30 in the morning. I was awoken by my 4 yr old crawling into bed with me. I am now awake as she sleeps soundly next to me, kicking me the whole time.
I reached over, fired up my tablet and found your post.
I am lying in bed wiping the tears. Words fail me but I just wanted you to know we care.

Very, very sorry for your loss.
So very sorry to hear this mtn. We are here if you need to talk.
Very sorry to hear. My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I’m so sad. Words cannot express...
I am so sorry. You have my condolences.

I can't imagine what you're going through. Well, as a fellow parent I can imagine it, but I'm sure it's still nothing like the reality.
I'm more deeply sorry than I can express. My thoughts and love are with all of you.
There are no words. I am so sorry. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
What devastating news, I am so sorry. As others have said, make sure you and your wife use all the resources around you, know that you are loved and take care of each other.
Devastated is right. I'm sure it's small comfort, but I'm here crying for your loss. Angela is a beautiful name and she had loving parents. I pray you'll get to meet her some day.
I'm so sorry to hear this. I cannot begin to imagine what you, your wife, and your family are going through.
You and your family will be in my thoughts this Thanksgiving.
So sorry to read this. My deepest condolences.
I’m so, so sorry
There are no words. Very sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear :(
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I have no words, I am so sorry. As a parent I can not imagine what the two of you are going through.
This won't take away the any of the unimaginable pain you are experiencing right now, but just know:
You and your wife did everything you could for your daughter. There is nothing more you could have done.
As hard as it might become at times, try to never forget that and never second guess it.
