Heart wrenching
Today I sit here in my office at work and my heart is hurting for one of my co-workers. The company I work for has 5 different office locations and each office has an assigned office manager, myself representing the Grand Junction, CO office. It was exciting because 3 of the 5 office managers were expecting, myself being the last due date expected. I had gotten an email from my co-worker today asking me to do the payroll for her this week. Which I was surprised because I had forgotten she was to be back from her maternity leave today. I had just thought she was overwhelmed with the paperwork she received due to her being on maternity leave. I of course agreed and I had written her a welcome back email and asked how her new little bundle of joy was? She wrote back and said that she delivered a boy, but the baby had complications and she had lost her baby at full-term. This broke me immediately and I had to pull myself together. I am having an array of emotions but I seriously ask that you please pray for my friend and co-worker Ariana and her family as they cope with their loss of their baby boy, Julian. I know there is no words of comfort I can give her besides praying that our Heavenly Father wrap his strong arms around her for comfort.

This breaks my heart into so many pieces. I will be praying for her.
I will definitely be praying. So very heartbreaking.
Oh. Horrible! Something no mommy should have to say... :-( If you do talk to her again, please let her know that we are praying and aching with her. And we will say an extra prayer for your little one right now too.
