Heather - I seethe on your behalf. What a truly shitty thing for this 'friend' to do to you.

Your daughter is perfect, but for whatever reason she died. If 'God' only allowed the perfect to live, then we would be immortal, no? We all die, but unfortunately for us we have reversed the natural order of things and said goodbye to our children instead of them watching us decline and go.

I am so sorry for the heartless, opportunistic and misguided attempt of someone trying to make sense of a tragedy and the pain it has caused you. Your daughter is perfect, as is my son and all of the other babies lost here. They were perfect, loved and wanted. Anything else is a disservice to their life and existence.

Sending you healing, warm light.
