I just found out that my pregnant neighbor lost her baby. She was eight and a half months along, but there was some complication; they did an emergency c-section but the baby didn't make it.

I hardly know her, but I feel absolutely awful for her. She has two boys and this was going to be her little girl. They had the nursery all set up, which is going to be hell to come home to.

Nobody deserves this. The woman's mother came over to talk to us, and she said when she lost the baby she sat in the emergency room and held it for four hours.

I just needed to get it out somehow. I know horrible things happen every day, but I really just don't understand. I don't understand why we're thrown into this existence and expected to make sense of things that seem to have no purpose at all. What's the point of going through over eight months of a healthy pregnancy just to lose a baby? What's the point in a life being created that isn't even allowed to be born?
