this sounds so awful.....I wonder if perhaps there is also some post partum depression added onto the issues as well. I hope this family is able to overcome all obstacles, especially for the kids sake!
So Sad Today...Sorry...Long.....

If mom does not make it, please get them some information about grief counseling for children. My sister lost her 3rd child when my niece and nephew were 9 & 4. The oldest girl found her (she had suffocated), and the little boy was there to witness much of what you've described, plus med flight (they were at their country cabin).
For a long time, my nephew freaked out whenever he was a helicopter.
All is well now (as well as it can be when a family looses a child), but I know my niece and nephew participated in a grief camp (a summer camp specifically for children who have lost loved ones), and additional counseling.
We are in WI, but there is probably something similar in your area. Maybe contact a hospital social services person. They may already refer them, but sometimes it helps to hear it from a trusted friend.
I am praying for the family...- Flag

Thanks for all the written hugs. Sadly, she passed away this afternoon. Her sister called me an hour ago.
So very sad.
Her mother passed away about 10 years ago from cancer at a fairly young age. So I am trying to think of her in the arms of her mother and being reunited with her two darling daughters. Both were full term stillborn and looked like sleeping angels. At least she is at peace now.
It's the family left behind who need all the prayers now.- Flag

I sure will. The baby has only just turned a year, so I think he will be fine. But the 4 year old girl is going to need some help. She's a quiet, sweet little angel and it breaks my heart that she had to witness that.- Flag

This defines the word "tragic" on so many levels. As you said, at least she is at peace now and with her loved ones who passed before her.
