Never have I cried so much

*warning this is heartbreaking*

My mother about 2 and a half years ago was TTC and she met some other women who were on a baby board well one women she met had just gotten pregnant with twins! She was supper excited because she had been trying for months. At about 23 weeks she had lost both the babies. She was obviously heartbroken her and my mom became pretty good friends and ended up getting pregnant at aroud the same time! Her son Zachary was born a little before my brother Brian. At around 12months old Zachary was at daycare and we women who was watching him didn't have a monitor in the room he was sleeping in and Zachary passed away from SIDS. It was a really hard thing to here because I may have not know the women but my heart broke for her to lose 3 kids I couldn't imagine. Just devastating well now fast forward a little over a year my brother is 2 almost 3 and my moms friend ended up geting pregnant with twins! She had a boy and a girl, as her daughter got older she noticed that something seemed wrong with her, at a very young age she was diagnosed with Leigh Syndrome it's a very rare disease that affects the central nervous system and there is no cure and the doctor had told her that her daughter was terminal , about a week ago Riley(the daughter) was found in her crib not responding. Her mom gave her CPR till the ambulance alive. Riley is currently stable but her family fears for her. It's just tears my heart out that this women has lost 3 children and now has to watch her young daughter die :,/ I just can't imagine that kinda of pain

My prayers go out to her. And her family. her blessings may be short lived but God sees. He knows what hes doing. He wont put more on her than she can handle. She is string and God knows it. He has plans for her little people. And plans for her. I pray that he will bring her through this time just as he has brought her through the rest. I pray that Riley makes it and God chooses to let her stay a little longer...without pain and suffering. God bless her and the family and friends who are sharing her grief.
