I, too was moved to tears. I feel for you both and am sorry for your loss. Do mourn for the baby and your sister's family, but also for yourself. In the end it will be more healthy. I remember the call I got one morning from my best friend's mom. She had told me that my friend had lost her twin boys. After being on bed rest for 2 months, and her last check-up being excellent, she went into early labor (she was 5 1/2 months). They lost the first one right away and the second lasted til early morning hours (like 5 am). When I was told, I almost fell to the ground in disbelief and sadness. You see, my friend was like my sister. I had known her since I was 2 years old. Whatever happened to her happened to me. I felt as if my heart had been torn apart. I was truly devasted.
So you see, you need to grieve for yourself as well. She is your sister and that baby was linked to you in some way. Many of us know what you are going through and I am sure we are all here for you. My thoughts are with you and your family.
