She was losing blood and deteriorating very rapidly. The ultrasound said...NON VIABLE GESTATION. And probably infection was setting in. But I consulted a Canon Lawyer Priest. He said that in this case the mother's life needs to saved.There was a massive Earthquake while she was in the OT. I thought God was angry! But Ma'am's articles about God's mercy and the non existence of Limbo have really helped in the healing. I call baby whose with The Trinity, Emma.<br />Emma, pray for us.edwinrodriguesofhts.blogspot.cohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03528074907545925010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7066465714745281883.post-20363871125038391182015-10-20T02:33:37.676-05:002015-10-20T02:33:37.676-05:00Sharon, The hospital said I had to bring the remai...Sharon, The hospital said I had to bring the remains or they wouldn't do a DNC. That was a lie, obviously as I could have said, "Whoops, we flushed the toilet." But when it happens you are so disturbed that you can't think straight. I assume they burned the remains with the bodies of aborted children. I asked for a Mass for Raphael, my first miscarriage. Ironically, the priest feared I believed in limbo and wouldn't do it. So I went to the pastor, and he arranged for that priest to say the Mass, but he wrote it in the book as his own "special intention." This was 1986. I hope things have changed. I had the pope say Mass for "Raphael Fox." And got him the apostolic blessing post mortem so I guess I had a funeral Mass, yes? God bless you. Miscarriages are the worst thing I think.

If that's true, why are we not told about it? The Catholic hospital where I would have delivered my baby asked me to give them the remains, which I did. I very much regret that now. Why did they want the remains? What was done with my child's body? I don't even know. I think this is an area where Catholics need to be given much more information.

I went to the funeral with my mother's blessing, which scandalized my Graga. Her casket remained at home until then not in a funeral parlor. I said to my Mom, she was sleeping. She was -- in the bosom of Abraham. Requiescat in pace, +Earl E. Appleby, Jr.http://word-defender.blogspot.com.br/noreply@blogger.com
