Prayer Request for a Tiny Angel

July 16th, 2004 | M0sby

[M0sby]

I am PINGING you all tonight because we have had a tragedy in our family today.

 

My little sister (Renee, 33) and her husband (Kirk, 39) were expecting their first child today.  Renee was induced this morning at a hospital in Grand Rapids, MI.  She was having normal contractions for about three hours and then after her water was broken she began to bleed heavily.  She was rushed in for an emergency C-Section and although the baby was delivered within 4 minutes she had lost too much blood for them to revive her.

My niece, little Samantha Sangsland is now in heaven and my sister and her husband are without the baby they have been proudly waiting to bring home.

Renee and Kirk are very faithful Christians and have much support from their church but I would like to ask for you all to please pray for them tonight and in the coming weeks as they plan a funeral to bury their first-born.

 

I am not able to comprehend this at the moment as I am too sad to be very coherent.  I will be flying out to be with them in the next few days and just cannot imagine what they are facing.  I cannot even imagine being able to even breathe, much less function.

 

We have been really busy around here, enjoying having our family back together after Dan's return from overseas and as such I have been very tardy in getting the latest prayer requests together for Logan's Miracle Room.  I apologize, and ask for you to please include us in your prayers.

 

It is kind of late for me to be putting this thread up, so I won't be able to respond very quickly, but I wanted to get the request up ASAP.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

M0sby, I am so sorry to hear of the loss your family is suffering. Just remember... little Samantha Sangsland is in the arms of our Lord. You will see her again. Please lean on your FReeper family for comfort.

I can't even imagine how devastated your sister and her husband are. I pray that the Lord will give them strength and comfort during this difficult time.

My condolences to you and your family.

[GrandmaC]

Father we thank you for this little baby. We don't always understand your ways, but we know you are in Control and love us. Please be with the parents and give them comfort in this time of grief. Please cover them with your feathers. Psalms 91:4

[Bahbah]

I am so sorry to hear this. As Christians, Samantha's parents know she is free from any pain or sorrow, but the empty place in their hearts must be terrible to bear. I know God will help them endure this and will send my small prayer request to Him.

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

I am adding my prayers for all of your family. It is hard to find any joy in this sadness, but I thank God that you and they have a strong faith and trust in our loving Savior. He is all that can see you through the grief.

I hope they can picture little Samantha nestled in the love of Jesus as I do. I pray that all of you find comfort there too.

[Texas Termite]

On bended knees we pray to the Lord to give this family strength in the days and months ahead.

Your entire family is in our prayers.

Logan, Nana & Beth

Prayer Warrior present and crying over this....

[mombonn]

In early February I kept watch with a young couple, and their parents, during the last hours of their week-old baby daughter's life.

Heartbreaking.

I will be praying.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my, Sherry....prayers sent for Renee, Kirk, and Samantha, as well as you and your family.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm so sorry to hear about this. May God grant your sister comfort, and may little Samantha rest peacefully in Heaven under the safekeeping of His eternal love.

[StarCMC]

Prayers up M0sby. I am so sorry to hear this news.

[DLfromthedesert]

Oh, sweetheart, I am SO sorry. It's so hard for us to understand why these things happen. My prayers are with your sister and her husband, and with you.

Love,

Donna

My prayers go to you and yours in the lost of the little loved one who He chose to bring back home before anyone even knew her. I pray for all of you, and pray for understanding of God's will at this time. May He bless them with a little one again soon, if it is His will. Amen.
