Both of my sisters twins just died during childbirth

[MrDudeMan]

I really don't know what to say or do in this situation. This is something you hear about from a friend who knew someone who knew someone else. The babies weren't supposed to be born for another 10 weeks at least, which put their chances of survival at less than 10%. They were both born breathing and with a heart beat, but they didn't make it. It was only 21 weeks into the pregnancy.

I haven't cried in a while but this definitely brought it on full force with no end in sight. I want to do something to help her but I know nothing I say will make it better.

i'm sorry.

I could not imagine how I would feel if my daughter would not have lived for one reason or another (she's now 15 months old). I thank God every day that she's health and happy with no physical or mental problems. I see so many children born into a struggle for a good life.
I am truly sorry for the loss, and don't think there's anything you can do or say at this point that would make yourself or anyone else feel better.
Just allow yourself to grieve, it's a good thing to do.

My mother had three miscariages before she had me and five other siblings.

Very sorry to hear. The children are and forever will be with God. I don't know if there is much you can do or say to your sister to console her, but just be there for her and let her greave for as long as it takes.

The universe is hostile and impersonal sometimes. Talk to your family maybe together you guys can make it trough.

Im very sorry to hear about your sister's loss. I know my words won't mean much but she's in my prayers.

In terms of things you can do, perhaps a donation to the March of Dimes? I know it's not much in the grand scheme of things but that link will take you to a "Donation in Memory" page if you so wish.

Its just a thought. I would hate to have to go through such an ordeal like your sister and her husband are going through right now.

You are her brother and you love her, and those little angels. Just that is going to be a help to her.

Try again. My wife had a miscarrage. I tried again, and it worked.

Im so sorry for your loss. Just keep trying. That's all I can say.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. I don't mean to say the following bad in any way. But personally, I think it is ok that they both died rather than one. Being a twin, you always carry a connection to your twin. If something happens to my brother, I can feel so bad at times. And those twins that I do know that have lost their better half even at birth I find are very depressed people.

Us twins are very weird. We always seem to be one person, even if we rip each other's throats out... We are still so tightly connected we might as well be one person..

Regardless, I am terribly sorry for your loss and I hope your mother stays strong in this very sorrowful time.

Just be there for her. Sometimes actions can speak louder than any words.
My condolences.
