      I live in a medical facility and have seen this happen TWICE. One nurses husband died and forced her to work less than a week after when she was supposed to get a month off and they held her pay. The other was an RT and her ex died in a car accident while she was working. They were still in love and gotten the divorce a month prior. She was forced to work the whole time. She got lucky that his funeral was on her day off.
      Unrelated but a CNA was murdered by her ex and the staff and patients sent cards and condolences to her family. She had JUST given birth three weeks prior. Did management do anything or even acknowledge her death? Nope. They didnt even know her name. Mind you, these are the same managers who hire people and say the red flag line of "we look out for each other. we're family here!"

      Only satisfaction Ive gotten was when the RT's went on strike for a pay increase. No one worked which forced the managers to come in and do the job. These idiots bossing everyone around couldn't even do it. I, a vent PATIENT at the time, had to show them how to change neckties. They had no idea. It was hilarious seeing them fail so badly. Safe to say, they finally agreed to increasing the RT's pay.

      It still happens today. My wife worked at Kroger and told me that even if someone died in your family and you called out of work the same day, they would still mark you absent and go toward your call-out days. She even told me someone got into a car accident on the way to work and they still marked them as such. Even if you got sick, COVID, for example, they said a doctor's note would not do anything. My wife was sick for two weeks with COVID, and because of that, they were on the verge of firing her for "missing too many days of work". She eventually got tired of their policies and quit on the spot because they were going to fire her if she showed up.

    It may mean well, but please, don’t ever say “*Child’s name* is better off in heaven”; “God needed another angel”; “You’ll eventually get over it”; “You can adopt or become a foster parent”, or anything like those examples. It isn’t helpful.

      It’s bad when they immediately recommend adoption or foster care for these people trying to have kids or can’t have any at all. They need to realize not everyone has the patience or money for that. We all know foster kids are usually traumatized and it truly takes people with the patience of a saint to deal with them. As for adoption. You never know where that child came from especially if it’s international. They admitted in some countries they are stealing babies and children from women and lying that they died.

      Well when it's for TV you can always doubt the claims made, TV shows are so full of lies, this was probably made up for drama sake. That's why the employer wasn't named and a big reason I was thinking the story stinks. Lastly in 2003 I lost my daughter at 3 days old to a heart defect and a shitty hospital with disgusting people working there that didn't care about that little baby, I could never smile so big like that guy about talking about her passing, it was traumatic. It's also something I wouldn't tell someone I just met either, you would have to know me for awhile for me to want to talk about it. No not everyone is anything like me, but I agree I dunno how you can smile and be happy like that unless there are other things like using it gain sympathy or if it were true well not every father cares about their kid(s), again from personal experience with my own dead beat dad who took out insurance on me hoping I die before him so he can make money off me, no joke, we have had no relationship for 15 years but he has life insurance on me. He hates my wife and kids he would never give it to them... Sorry I know some twisted hard hearted people that won't love their own kin, they ain't nothing special in life there are loads more just like em out there.

You've fathered a child; the participation in giving that child life has already happened, and the child already exists with his or her own unique DNA, and from now on will just get bigger. But obviously, a lot of the FUN of being a father, and the part that will make an impact on your son or daughter's development in future life, is going to start when you hold and kiss and play with the baby, and that's the part that you'll really get to start enjoying around Thanksgiving.

    I don't have kids but anytime I hear about someone who's lost their child I always get choked up. I can't imagine that type of pain.

    I hope the person who fired him for missing work due to losing his daughter, get shown the same amount of compassion and help they showed this young man when they really, really need something.

    I am from the UK, and every boss in a company has a duty of care. If that happened here, the employee will go down the route of unfair dismissal, and the company can indeed get into a lot of trouble for that, and they do get named and shamed.

    We lost our unborn daughter at week 17.
    It was 2 before Christmas and she was the baby that was going to make me a dad.
    A large part of me died that day and I will never be the same again.
    I am blessed to now have a beautiful 6 year old daughter, she is my reason to live.
    The pain of losing even an unborn baby is unbelievable. I cannot image what they went through having their baby taken like that. 😢
    Having to go home without your baby to a house full of things you have been preparing for months for them. Heartbreaking 💔

    That guy has a great attitude, but you can definitely sense that he puts forth great effort in that great attitude to help ease the suffering that comes from losing a child. I'd be irreparably broken if I lost one of my children. May God bless this man and his family.
