Well it was announced publicly on August 20th so we know for sure it wasn't that long.  Even if they didn't tell anyone for a month...these babies were probably premature by about 10-12 weeks.

he said the due date was the day of the Steelers game which is 12/15. So your time frame sounds correct.

Figured it was something less this when he disappeared for a while on social media.  I can’t imagine the swing of emotions - you’re pregnant, it’s actually 4!, and now this.  And it’s hard enough to do this in private but it must be really rough when you are a public figure. Just awful and prayers to his family.

This is tragic.. it's really hard to find words..

 

GOD works in mysterious ways and I hope the LORD comforts them and brings them peace and eventually happy healthy children

 

I couldn't imagine

As a catholic, I always struggled with this part.  Why purpose does kids dying serve?  Not too get too deep and this is a high risk pregnancy, but things like SID and childhood cancer are when I struggle with God and The purpose.  Sorry if this is out of place here.

I can't tell you and I'm a lifelong Catholic as well

 

But I know through all the hell I've seen and fine through my faith hasn't waivered

I'm a reformed guy. The standard answer to that question is that God knows the beginning, the end and everything in between, and that we have to trust Him in all things, both good and bad. Easier said than done.

I don't know the answer.

 

But I can tell you my experience dealing with miscarriage and faith...

 

Mrs. Bandit and I have twin boys, born on Valentines Day just like Jim (and Hunter) Kelly. It was an easy pregnancy for Mrs. B. Boys were healthy, happy, and are 6 years old now.

 

Then came the shitstorm.

 

We decided to try again. And again it happened fast. And again, the doc saw two embryos. Unbelievable. Due on July 4th, another set of holiday twins! Except that in the next appointment, there was only one...and it had no heartbeat.

 

They'd be 2 now.

 

We decided to try again. What we didn't know was that we'd go through the same things another 3 times.

 

We were so mad, confused, frustrated, etc. But the one thing that we refused to do was lose faith. I believed that if we were meant to have more children, it would happen in God's timeframe.

 

So we prayed. A lot. And I felt lead that we should try once more, and only once more. 

 

Mrs. Bandit agreed.

 

30 days from now, my daughter will turn 1. On Halloween. Another holiday baby. She is my miracle baby; the child we waited 3 years for. Sometimes it's incredibly difficult to remain sad about our loss when we're so fortunate to have her. Then I feel guilty; as though the feeling of loss means that her and the boys somehow aren't enough.

 

I don't mean to make this thread about me. It's not. I am crushed for the White family, and I share this story so that anyone that's struggling with losing a child (even an unborn one) knows they're not alone.

 

And on the issue of faith, I don't mean to say that nobody can get through such pain without it; I only know that I couldn't have.

We don’t know the plan. It’s not meant to be that way. But I’m with you, I rely upon my faith to keep going despite what obstacles get in our way. The more you face, the more you need your faith. 

 

May the White family find strength and peace.

I was in the middle of my workout before class and work today when I tuned in for Howard Picks the Bills then stayed tuned in heard White was coming on. I literally started tearing up and had to go to the rest room to compose myself. It just flat out sucks and no one deserves to go through that.

Already choked up, and consider myself lucky to have my two kids.  But this...that due date is actually my son's birthday.  Just a weird coincidence, but somehow makes me feel luckier to have him.

 

This news is terrible.  My mom lost a child before she had me and I can still hear the pain in her voice decades later when she talks about it.  I simply cannot imagine what those two are going through now losing four together.  It must be utterly soul-crushing.  All I can offer are my prayers and condolences.  Nobody should ever go through the pain of losing a child, especially losing four in quick succession.

 

I hope they can one day find peace.  Sadly, the pain is going to last a long, long time.

I almost had to turn it off. That was almost too raw for me. He did well to keep it together. I couldn't imagine. I just kept seeing my 2 year old baby boys face. Wanting to hug him as tight as possible. Jeremy earned so much respect as a man. Forget sports forget everything else. He is a man first. And he is hurting. 

 

I usually dont do it. But 4 kids. My prayers are for him his wife and his whole family as they move through this

Remember when my son was born.  You don’t ever believe something bad could happen to your baby.

 

My son had the cord wrapped around his neck and the cord had a true knot.  Every time there were contractions, his heart rate would decrease meaning he was being choked by the umbilical cord.  Doctor didn’t react, but the nurse was obviously distressed by what was gong on.  He was born floppy (meaning no reaction, no crying) and just grunting.  They took him away and we didn’t see him fo 8 hours.

 

He as born fine, but it didn’t hit us until years later what could have happened.  We met the mother of a special needs child who was in his 4th grade class.  This child was was born with brain damage and should have been in 6th grade at the time.  When talking to the mother, it was like reliving my sons birth, pretty exact.  By gods graces my son went through the same as her daughter, but would be fine.

 

He has never had any problems, but it still brings me to tears when I think about what could hav happened.  He is graduating college in December with his masters degree.

 

i can’t even comprehend what Jeremy and his wife are going through.  To even imagine something could happen with your one child during childbirth, but all 4 is simply devastating.

Same thing happened with my younger son. The medical people decided to do a C-section immediately. Things turned out OK, minus the stupid doctor nicking the ex-wife's bladder in the process and causing a LOT of bleeding. That was way more dangerous than the baby issue.

 

Thoughts to JW.

I don't know if McD will work out as the Bills HC, but that is one classy man.  Kudos to him.

 

On a related note, I just listened to Jeremy's announcement regarding the quads...

I listened to Jeremy tell his story on the WGR vault and although it was heart-wrenching, both my wife and I were amazed and uplifted by his strength of character and attitude about the tragedy. His ability to tell the story without completely losing it was remarkable, as was his eloquence and gratitude.  As sad as it was to hear, we were both uplifted by his approach to seeing the good and opportunity to help others in the future. I have always liked listening to Jeremy and definitely have great respect for him as a man and father. God bless them all.

Towards the end of the interview, Jeremy asked for donations to go to an organization, in lieu of flowers. I believe it is the Western New York Perinatal Bereavement Network. Below is the link to donate.  Let’s make it happen.
