Having walked in their shoes 2 years ago, when I heard the news it rehashes all the emotions I felt when our boy was born still at 39 weeks.

It’s such a tragedy where something so joyous could be so sad in a blink of an eye, and moreso it’s not as uncommon as i thought. They’re not lying when they call it the miracle of life.

My sincerest condolences go out to the sloanes and all affected by this horrible news.

Really cannot imagine going through what you and your partner have endured. Life makes no sense sometimes.

It’s hard to describe but I found the best way to deal with it is to talk about it.

It will remain with us forever but also it has made us stronger as a couple and strangely enough given us great perspective.
 
That's such awful news, I feel so bad for Rory and Belinda and their family. I've got a five month old daughter at the moment and the thought of something ever happening to her feels me with dread. I can't even bring myself to imagine what they're going through right now.

They'll have the sympathy of a nation behind them, but I doubt that will do much to ease their heartbreak.

I have a ten month old and the thought of such a thing is heartbreaking.

He woke us up in a coughing fit at 4am this morning and that was bad enough.

Tragic news

My eldest sibling was still born, and my parents never really got over it. the hardest part apparently was being told and having to go through labour and deliver when it’s gone. And then the private funeral service

The sloanes are dealing with something far more horrific than miscarriages, which are themselves no laughing matter

Just an absolute tragedy.

They’ll have more kids but they won’t forget the visceral, unending heartbreak
 
Just heard about this.

Can't imagine anything worse. Words are so meaningless at times like this ... but my deepest condolences anyway.

I'd like to wish them all the best and hope they find the strength to cope.
 
A charity that some of you might like to donate to is Bears of Hope. They provide a teddy bear along with resources to families who go through miscarriage/stillbirth. When we went through our miscarriage, it was such a nice thing to receive, and our teddy bear will always be there to remind us of the baby we lost.

That's a great initiative, had never heard of them before.
 
Absolutely horrible news. No parent should have to outlive their child. As a parent of a 2 year old and having seen a best mate loose their 2 day old daughter recently I openly cried for them. Thank goodness they will have the support of the whole footy club and wider community behind them both. It will not be easy for them.
 
I had an older sister who was stillborn, my folks rarely talk about it to the point that i had forgotten. It traumatises families longer than anyone could imagine.

I hope Rory, Belinda and the family get all the help they need

Another fantastic charity, but largely unknown is Heartfelt, they provide a service where a professional photographer will come out straight away and gift some photographic memories for the parent/s. They also provide inkless kits to all hospitals for bereaved parents to keep hand and foot prints of their child, without putting ink on the childs skin.
All of their services are free of charge including printing and posting.

My heartfelt condolences go out to Rory and Belinda and their families.

Lots of love to the Sloane family. It is one of the hardest things a parent will ever have to go through and I wish them all the love and support.

Bears Of Hope offered great resources when my son Oliver was stillborn at 33 weeks 5 years ago.

Another Charity that I strongly recommend and have done fundraising things for is SANDS - http://www.sands.org.au/
They provide support and counselling for anyone who have gone through pregnancy loss. It is something that is very common, yet not often talked about.
Donating to charities like these will help them to continue offer support to anyone who needs.
