ReplyDeleteOh Wiseguy, I am so terribly shocked and saddened to hear this. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteAs if losing her was not bad enough, the doctors keeping it from you is outrageous.
Thinking of you and Birdman.
Holding you, your family and your sweet sweet angel in my prayers. Heartbreaking ..I am lost for words.
ReplyDeleteNo! I am heartbroken for you! I am so, so sorry to hear this horrible news. I wish that I could do something to make the world right and bring her back to you.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and sending love...
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I am so very sorry for your loss of such a sweet soul. I cannot imagine the pain, anger and sadness you must be feeling. I wish I was there to hold you up to this cruel world. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteNo! Oh WiseGuy, there are no words. You are not alone. You are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThis is just beyond horrific. Shaking fists at the universe and wailing horrific.
ReplyDeleteShedding tears with you for your sweet, beautiful daughter.
I am so sorry. So very sorry. This world is cruel and unfair, and it often makes absolutely no sense. May the love and light of your family and friends hold you up in this impossible darkness.
ReplyDeleteOh Wise Guy, I am SO sorry. I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am. I'm sending you so many prayers and so much love. Please, do take care of yourself. We're all here for you.

ReplyDeleteI don't think sorry even begins to cover it..I can't..there aren't even words. I am shocked and dumbfounded beyond belief. To loose her is one thing, to be kept in the dark, is so awful that there is a special place in hell for the doctors that did that to you. I wish I could say something to at least numb the pain..Please know you are heavy in my thoughts and prayers today.
ReplyDeleteOh, Wiseguy. My heart feels frozen in my chest. I know there are no words that will ease your pain and sadness but know that I am sending you much, much love.
