A week ago I gave birth to twins at only 24 weeks, a boy and a girl. Within a few days my son, Levi began to grow stronger and healthier, but my little girl, Leah, began to deteriorate.. We lost our darling girl on Friday morning and held services for her over the weekend. I am now beyond depressed and can't pick myself up enough to care for my growing sons...
Please help.

" Georgia, honey, don't ignore yourself. You need to let others around you know exactly how you are feeling. I lost my little girl, and people hung around for two weeks and then they disappeared.

Get your family or friends to understand that you need physical support for as long as it takes.

My heart goes out to you and I hope you will find the strength you need. It is okay to cry, it is okay to scream, it is okay to think about the scenarios of the loss, and to lose it. If you don't do it right now, believe me, you will be doing it for 30 years. Do it now. Cry now. It may hurt, but it will make it better later. "

" I feel like a failure. I've had three pregnancies since I was 17: my first son born at 21 weeks passed, my second son born at 29 weeks is 10 months, then I was expecting three, I lost a son in my first trimester, and carried a son and daughter to 24 weeks, only my son survived... It makes me want to give up everything... "

" I cannot imagine how you feel. I understand your words. The thing that stands out the most to me is the need for you your newborn son has. I am sure you will stand by him and give him all he needs for a good life.

I am very sorry such things have happened to you.

You do have the gift of this child. He needs you for everything. "
