I lost a little sister this weekend. She was stillborn. My father and stepmom cremated their baby girl Sunday and are keeping her little bones and ashes in an urn in the house. How do u comfort a father who's lost a little girl he was so looking forward to meeting?

candles will be lit for her little soul... ¶ 08:24
