We are Requesting Prayers for my Sister Cassie & her Family
On Thursday morning, Cassie went to a scheduled OB visit for her 39 week gestational age, baby boy. It was discovered that he had died prior to the visit. She was induced for the vaginal birth right away and brought his still body into this world a little after 8pm that night. The shock and sadness have touched many of their family and friends. Both Cassie, Bear and their children, Patrick 5 and Conner almost 3, has been understandably overwhelming. After his body was delivered, they chose the name of James Little Bear Holden. His features were very similar to that of little Conner. Bear was so overcome with grief that he was unable to hold Baby James. Cassie however, held him for an hour or so before he was taken for an autopsy. They chose to have this performed due to the obvious and severe deterioration of James' body. So many questions arise when a tragedy like this occurs. We hope that the procedure will answer a few of these questions. Cassie and Bear decided that Patrick and Conner should not see his body. I hope that this was a wise choice, but it is done. We are asking for the prayers of our family and friends to help them to be comforted during this time of heartache, loss and eventual mending of their broken hearts. Thank you in advance for your prayers and concern.
