We were told something similar and mentioned it to the minister performing our son's funeral. To begin the service, she announced, "God doesn't want babies to die. God is the first to mourn when a child dies...."
It was such a powerful way to start the service and to this breaking heart, it was so much easier to hear something along the lines of God wanting my baby to make it just as much as I did. That we both had been on the sidelines, cheering my baby along.
Here is to aligning ourselves with supportive people who aren't afraid of disorder or tears or the ache of losing our sweet, precious perfect babies.

provision of support by clergy; picture of God as cheerleader
