Been a very sad day today

had a routine 2wkly scan yesterday which showed that one of my identical twin boys had passed away (i was 35+3) i was already being induced at the end of the week but went for a c section this morning, baby a was born weighing 4 pound 13oz hes doing absoloutly wonderful, baby b had passed away and they think he had been dead for a couple of days: it took a while to sink in but now im just super emotional and keep breaking down, its so hard to be happy for baby jai (surviving twin) whom is currently in nicu but he is  breathing and doing everything on his own while im trying to grieve over loosing baby braxton :( life can be so unfair sometimes. I am seeing braxton for the first time tommorow as i needed a little bit of time to think about what i wanted to do i hope i get a little bit of closure by giving him cuddles

This is going to sound so selfish but be thankful you have one. I lost my identical twin boys and I couldn't help but wish at least one had survived. I'm so sorry for your loss and I pray you and the surviving twin are doing well.

An Angel in the book of life
Wrote down my babys birth,
Then whispered as she closed the book,
"Too Beautiful For Earth"

That is a special, beautiful prayer that I heard when my friends baby passed away (he was barely one & a half & he was beaten to death by a man who will be serving life in prison & he died in the hospital). I try to believe that God has a plan & a purpose for everyone & for everything that happens & that that baby is in a better place where he feels nothing but happiness & he knows no pain.  I'm sorry you have
to go through this but I'm very Happy for you that
Your child did survive & had the fighting strength to
push through & you get to be a mom..  that's a
blessing! I can't imagine what ur feeling but I will
keep u in my prayers!! Stay strong!!!

i am so sorry that you have to embark on this journey.
it truly is heartbreaking.
you're in my thoughts.
cuddle that baby Braxton as much as you can, it DOES help.
I can assure you that with time it will get easier to deal with.
Let your mind go through the motions. You will have good days and bad days, and then you'll have HORRIBLE days :(
Just know it's all normal to feel everything you're feeling.

I'm sorry I was a twin too my twin died in the womb. My mom was sad but just the fact that God let one of use survive was better then losing both. No matyer what your baby will always be apart of you. Always he will watch over you.when i feel down I just know my twin watches over me.
