Jeremy White (WGR) heartbreakingly loses all 4 babies


Recommended Posts

I was afraid this would happen.  I work in reproductive medicine and quadruplet pregnancies are extraordinarily high risk.  I have seen first hand the effects of pregnancy loss, and it is devastating for the couples that go through them.  My prayers to the Whites that they find the strength to cope with their loss.

oh man.  after our first round of ivf, we thought we were having twins.  one of the embryos ended up not having a heart beat, and my wife was devastated.  the physician did a great job at consoling her, and he explained how difficult and potentially dangerous these multiple pregnancies could be.  as time goes on i realize how correct he was.  what jeremy and his family are going through is far worse.  i genuinely feel bad for these people that i've never met.

My wife's cousin lost a child less than a day old. Just an awful awful thing to have happen to good people. After seeing the aftermath of that, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Thankfully, they were able to have a happy, healthy child recently 

 

My heart is broken for Jeremy and his family. I hope he can find some strength to deal with this horrible situation

He set up the nursery with all 4 cribs a couple weekends ago. I thought about it and was worried it was too soon. 

 

Ya it probably was, but having 4 is crazy and you need to be prepared, as they can come at any time so you can't wait too long. Tough situation.

Guys, I may be considered a bad fan because after losses I just don't see the point in going on about it so I really don't follow anything the week after losses...onward and upward.

 

...So I am only finding out about Jeremy and his wife's loss now, as I would have heard live on the radio had the Bills won on Sunday.

 

At this moment I don't know whether I should have heard this or it would have been too hard (my wife and I lost two ourselves).

 

I only know my words are meaningless here, because "i'm sorry" just doesn't do enough.

 

They will not get over this because you never do...but you find a place for it, more importantly them, in your heart forever.

 

Please God bless them, and their little ones who left us far to soon.

He is talking on air about it now and my eyes are leaking.  Maybe sharing his grief with us can ease his some, which is ok with me.  We can try to make some good of this in their names, Zoe, Lincoln, Myles and Breckon.

 

He mentioned this organization at the end.

 

Western New York Perinatal Bereavement

 

 

Well, I chose to make a $44.44 donation in honor of their 4 and a pair of  honorary S.U. 44's.

I too was dabbing tears on my entire drive into work listening to it. We have two healthy kids, but one delivery got very complicated at the end. It was a textbook pregnancy up until the last 10-15 minutes. We are very fortunate, and stories like this just rip my heart out. 

 

I saw this idea on reddit: What if everyone gives a multiple of 550 that they're comfortable with? $.55, $5.50, $55.00, etc?

The part about the babies heart beats they put in the teddy bear I couldn't handle.

 

I had to close my office door.  I sat here with my hand over my mouth.

 

I may not know Jeremy white personally, but i've met him a few times and its weird to say he has been a part of my life for 10+ years now because I listen to them every morning.

That's a good idea too.  I did the $44.44 so they'd know why the donation was made.  I wanted to do something for the 4 who were lost and since Jeremy is a Syracuse alumnus he might appreciate a pair of "44's."

I hate to say it but I had the same thought knowing the risks involved.   

 

His talk this morning was powerful and heartbreaking.  His strength is also incredibly impressive.  To do what he and his wife did once is more than anyone can bear.  To do it four times in succession is torturous.  

 

I wanted to vomit when I listened to him because I hurt so badly for them.  I have two young kids, and there’s a lot about life that didn’t understand until we had them.  I have a hard time relating to what I’ll characterize as the WGR listeners now.  I don’t gamble on sports, I think fantasy football is a waste of time, and I don’t have time to drink or to play golf.  A young family and providing for that family take precedent.  I cannot imagine what it would be like to see the “other” side — That is, to have a child and then to lose that child — and go back to the trivialities of arguing about what is the best beer, the most favorable betting line, or which defense to start in fantasy this week.  It would be beyond awful.  

 

My heart breaks for them and everyone who has been through it.  If he reads this, maybe the one small consolation is that he obviously was one hell of a dad to those kids in their short time on the planet and he will be an amazing father to child #5 and beyond.

Yes! Very cool gesture.

Wow. Is it too late to tank? ?

 

 

Congrats to him. 

REALLY weird seeing this now with the updated title.  Took me a minute to figure out the upbeat and celebratory mood in the first page.

This thread is a good reminder that when these things happen, you should know that you're not alone.  It's understandable to want to close up and deal with it on your own, but you should know that many others have gone through it and the help is out there if you're willing to look.

I just turned it on. This is awful but I think it’s helping him to talk about it.

 

When we miscarried talking about was therapeutic. My wife actually went to a yoga/support group once a week for women who miscarried or lost a delivery and it was big for her

I am so sorry for their loss.

I volunteered for years for a support group for people who had miscarriage (s), stillbirth(s) and infant death(s) to one year (I needed the group myself for a time, and volunteered to "give back").  I also got some heartbreaking Crisis Services calls during that time period, too. While support groups are not for everyone, support of some type (private, group, a friend or stranger to listen) can be very beneficial.  No one should have their children die before they do, and yet, sadly, it is still all too common.

I listened to the on-demand audio of Jeremy sharing the news.  That was extremely tough to listen to.  I can't imagine experiencing it.   My wife went in to pre-term labor with our twins.  About 8 weeks early.  They were really small but made it ok and are healthy teens now.  Just can't imagine..   very sad.

My God. 


I'm holding back tears just reading everyone's comments. I haven't even listened to Jeremy yet. I want to download it and listen later but not sure if I can handle it. 

My wife and I have lost two of our own. As a dad, it's awful. I can't begin to fathom losing four, and losing them in the way that they did.
