This was tweeted earlier in the day, but I am reposting it here for those who might not have seen it so they will understand why this page was created.
Last night, as a complication of the health problems which have kept Brittany hospitalized for the past few weeks, she starting coughing up blood which was what the doctors had feared would happen. They took her in for surgery and were able to stop the bleeding, but because of the amount of blood that had been lost before they were able to get it under control they lost both twins.
Understandably, Brittany and Alex are devastated but in a numb state of shock at the moment. For the most part she has been alseep since the surgery, but she is aware of what happened.
Please give Brittany and Alex the time and space they will need to come to terms with this tragedy. I was asked by Alex to help him get the news out so they would not have to continue retelling a very painful story. I'm asking that you please help me get the information to people they speak with that I do not know. When they are ready to talk they will be back and will tweet, but please do not ask questions. If and when they are ready do discuss this with anyone they will do so.
Please use this page to post thoughts and leave well wishes and prayers. Do not bombard them with DMs, tweets or emails. Brittany & Alex have been provided access to this page and will see all the love they have received.

ReplyDeleteBritt & Alex -
ReplyDeleteMy heart goes out to the both of you during this difficult time. I can't even begin to adequately express the amount of love, sympathy and sorrow I feel for the two of you. I am absolutely heartbroken for the both of you. You are two of the most amazing people I have ever met and I feel so angry and sad at the universe for making the two of you deal with something so incredibly difficult. You both deserve a world of happiness. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to have met you and witness the amazing relationship that you two share. I have a deep found respect for the both of you and I admire how much you obviously love, respect and support each other. I admire the way you are able to joke, tease and harass each other and yet the amount of love that the two of you share is so completely obvious. Lily is so very very lucky to have the two of you as parents. I have no doubts that the two of you will be able to overcome this with time because of the bond the two of you share. You will have each other to lean on.
I love the two of you so very much. Please know that although I live several hundred miles away in Michigan, I am here for you in any capacity that you need me. Please consider me as part of your support system and that I am here if there is anything that I can do.
You are in my thoughts, prayers and in my heart.
xoxo,
Rae
Hey Britt. <3
ReplyDeleteI don't have words to express what I'm feeling, or that can make any of this better. But know that your family is in my thoughts and my prayers.
You bring such joy to those around you, both in real life and the virtual universe.
I'm thankful to have gotten to know you and your beautiful spirit.
I'm here for you in any way you want or need me.
I believe that everything happens for a reason, and as difficult as that is to believe sometimes, this will serve some great purpose in the grand scheme of things.
I'm only an email or tweet away.

Dear Brittany and Alex,
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry for your losses. I would never want to wish this upon anyone, especially to people as amazing and loving as you guys are. To have something so special as Layla and Leah taken away so abruptly, I can't imagine what you are going through. You two have been through a lot with your surgery during the summer, the adoption with Lily and now this. You guys are strong, some of the strongest people I know. Both of you have many friends and family who love you, so never forget that. Ya'll are in my heart, and prayers. I am here for you, if you need anything never forget that.
Love, Dav
Britt and Alex,
