Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I went in for a regular OB appointment this morning and they could not find a heartbeat. I saw a perinatologist there who did an ultrasound and confirmed that my baby has died. He believes that the baby died because of a one-time chromosomal abnormality that lead to heart failure. He said they will do an autopsy after the delivery. I am/was 22 weeks pregnant. Tomorrow I will go to L&D to be induced and deliver vaginally. The doctor said our baby is a girl. We want to name her Mary Grace. My almost five year-old is heartbroken. Please pray for us. We are living overseas and far away from family. This hasn't really sunk in for me yet but I know I will need prayers for tomorrow and in the days ahead. My children are four and two years-old.

Thank you.

Oh, Jordan, I am so sorry. This is devastating.

I pray the Holy Spirit will comfort and console you. Lean on us, we'll walk through this with you.

Dear Jordan,
I am so sorry. I am holding you and your dear ones close in prayer. We have a Mary Grace, too, and I will ask her to pray especially to your little saint in heaven, to help you in the days ahead...This is a very heavy cross.
