For a young, single mother who courageously chose life for her child only to find herself now occupied with funeral arrangements instead of baby showers.
The baby has anencephaly.
She is not expected to live long after delivery. Her due date is September 1st. Please pray for this young mom, Haley, and Baby Brayley. She desperately wants to hold her child long enough to baptize her and tell her how much she is loved. As her delivery day approaches, will you spiritually accompany this brave young mom and her beloved little girl?
Praying for her. May God bring her much grace and abundant consolation as she walks this difficult road.
ReplyDeleteShe is due on my daughter's birthday. I am adding her to my daily prayers.
ReplyDeleteAll the souls she has already and will continue to release into Heaven out of Purgatory! We will pray for her and her baby.
ReplyDeleteWhat a courageous young lady. I am sure Heaven will open its doors widely to accept a new saint that will always be up there look down on his sweet mommy.
ReplyDeleteOh, how sad! I know she has been and will continue to be blessed by her decision, but we all wish it could have been otherwise.
ReplyDeletePrayed-for.
ReplyDeleteOf course I will pray for them. How terribly sad:(
ReplyDeleteWe will absolutely be praying for her! Our intention will especially be that she will be able to have the peace of baptizing her baby!
ReplyDeleteSo sad. I have a friend whose babygirl had anencephaly and was born 1.5 weeks ago--she lived 28 hours. This is my friend's blog--maybe it will help your friend-

Praying for Blessed Mary to hold them both in her arms and to take care of little Brayley until they meet again.
ReplyDeletePraying here.
ReplyDeleteWe'll be praying for her and her baby. May God and our Blessed Mother help them find peace.
ReplyDeleteOh...tears and prayers...what an amazing young woman...may she be consoled in the time she has as she nurtures this little life. This baby will only ever know love!
ReplyDeleteI will pray for thi brave mother and her sweet baby. May God's peace be with her.
ReplyDeleteSometimes hospitals and funeral homes have special programs for people who need financial help with such crisis situations.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the suggestion! Sadly, we have found that since most people choose to abort these precious children with fatal diagnoses, some hospitals and even doctor's offices don't know how to handle the hours after delivery with compassion and respect, much less, offer assistance with a burial.
ReplyDeleteprayers for this brave and loving young Mom and her beloved daughter. There are also photographers who donate their services to provide the family with photos during pregnancy and of their child to cherish

I will pray for this courageous, faithful, trusting mother and her daughter. perhaps you are familiar with the options that are available to this young woman, but if not, you may want to check out now I lay me down to sleep (I think it's called) and also a good support site is BeNotAfraid.net
ReplyDeleteI will most certainly keep your friend and her daughter in our prayers. If you have not seen the following website already, you and others may find it helpful - perinatalhospice.org/Home_Page.html. The site was founded by a mother who also learned that her unborn child would not live long after birth. She wrote a wonderful book - Waiting With Gabriel - about her experience. She has begun to work in the perinatal hospice movement to assist others in who find themselves or loved ones in this very difficult situation.
ReplyDeleteThank you for ministering to your friend at this difficult time her life. God bless.
