Dear Rebbetzin,

My precious daughter carried a perfect little ‘angel’ for exactly nine months. Two days after due date, she suddenly did not feel life and upon rushing to the hospital, was told that the baby had died.

Why oh why, does my child have to suffer this immeasurable pain? I understand the ‘mystical’ side here and that they were chosen to carry this soul, but my pain, as a mother, watching my precious daughter give birth, knowing that this ‘angel’ was no longer alive, is so indescribably painful, that for months I thought I could never wake up again.

My daughter did everything so perfectly throughout her pregnancy. Never for one moment did we imagine that anything like this would happen. During her entire pregnancy, I prayed for this baby to be born healthy and well. What good were all my fervent prayers?
