    Welcome...we have moved this post to our NICU forum so it will hopefully be viewed and responded to by NICU nurses.

    There's two things and they're what you would expect:

    Hearing a mama sob as she holds her baby for the first and last time.

    Watching parents who are unable to let their baby go and die a peaceful death, so we essentially torture the baby by trying to keep alive a 25 weeker with a belly full of dead bowel.

    This. It's not the babies that die that get to me. It's the ones that no one will let go.

    Absolutely the ones who need to go to baby Heaven, sometimes there are worse things than dying. I also have a very hard time with the families who decide this and then don't call or visit. I know people cope in different ways but this is just awful.
