Dear Jim,

I am so, so sorry to hear of this tragedy. I lost a 5 month old years ago, so I have a small sense of what your family is going through, though I recognize that yours is a greater tragedy. For me, the best medicine was the company of family and friends. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
