I Have Lost a Sibling

My mother, who is now 84 went into the hospital to give birth. She was in labour for a long time and I believe they gave her something to "knock her out" anyway she woke up to a nurse offering her a cup of tea, this was in England. She said I would just like to see my baby. The nurse simply replied; " oh I'm sorry he died." No counselling no help nothing. To make matters worse my parents were unable to give my brother a proper funeral, because he died before he could be baptized. He was buried in an unmarked grave, with just a number to mark his final resting place.

That happened to my mother too. My sister's remains were later moved very late at night by my grandfather who reburied her very late at night in the grave of another family member. But I think the larger point is that God knows the real truth of things and that your mom will see your brother come the end
