The many questions of a still birth

If your child is stillborn or dies shortly after birth for reasons that could not be foreseen, you face many questions that were unexpected.  How could this have happened? What if you had done things differently? Where is God? What do you tell people? How do you inform the siblings and grandparents?  What are you supposed to do with the nursery?  Will you take leave from work? Do you return the baby's gifts or keep them for another child?  Why was this child taken so soon? What about all of our hopes and dreams for our baby? 

Do you know the answers to these questions? I don't, but I can rest assured that my sweet baby is in the arms of the Lord and YOU will always be their parent.
