some babies do not make it

Sometimes babies die.

Yesterday I got the news that one of the babies we had to take to the hospital for breathing problems has died. 

I find that at the moment I am a bit numb to the fact. I cannot quite touch the emotions that are under the surface. 

I do not know how to react. This is the first time that a baby I assisted with has died. I wish that I had had a deeper relationship with the family, but I do not know why I wish that. It would not help them with their grief at all. 

I am so sorry that this baby did not make it.
