How do I tell a troubled couple their baby died? I stand speechless, two other nurses stand with me, silently mourning the death of this baby. The baby who never got to take a single breath. The mother and father are waiting, I have to tell him their baby is a stillborn. I prepare myself. Wiping the small tears from my face. As I walk into the room, I can see the worry and hope in their eyes, it almost breaks me to have to do this. But I do anyway. It’s my job. When I tell them, I see the expressions drop, the mother begins to wail and cry into her lover’s arms. “I’m sorry for your loss.” I muster the words, it doesn’t even come close to how I really feel. I know the loss they feel. “I’m sorry for your loss.” Doesn’t even cover half of it.
