What is the most tragic thing you've ever had to deal with

[Uglyowl]

Really great life til the age of 27 (I would have nothing if this thread was 4 years ago)

Rank #2 February 16, 2004 diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, it sucked at the time, but it makes me a better person today

Rank #1 October 4, 2006 My pregnant wife stops feeling our 24 week old daughter move around in her stomach for a day+ and calls her doctor. She goes in and they hear no heartbeat. They have another doctor try and no luck. The ultrasound confirms the worst, our daughter was stillborn.

We go to the hospital around 7:00PM that night and they have to induce labor (just like a regular delivery) and 18 hours later she delivers. She looks like a normal baby except smaller. The cord wrapped around her neck killing her. Still to this day it sucks and my wife has not been the same (although getting much better as time passes).
