I had a former coworker in my office yesterday talking about business. He asked me about my wife and new son and I gladly prattled on for a few minutes before I remembered that his wife is pregnant and due in a few months. I asked how she was doing and he told me that they discovered last week that their child was stillborn and had to be surgically removed.
Obviously there's not much that I could do to avoid it, but I still felt like a schmuk.
