Default Jordan Staal's infant daughter passes away

Just tragic stuff.

Quote:
The Carolina Hurricanes say the infant daughter of team co-captain Jordan Staal has died.

Team spokesman Mike Sundheim said Sunday that Staal told him his daughter Hannah died Saturday.

Staal missed the team's two games this weekend because of family and personal reasons.

A statement issued by the team requested privacy for the family.

Very sad.
This was always sad news to hear, but having recently found out we are expecting our first, it scares the living ##### out of me.

Oh God. That’s as bad as it gets. Not much in this world can equal the tragedy of losing a child. It’s life altering, most people never fully come back from that one.

The phrase "soul crushing" is bandied about too casually these days. This is one of those events for Staal that is literally soul crushing. Just awful, awful news to hear.

My dad said it best: "No parent should ever have the misfortune to outlive their child."

ugh... Man, after becoming a father myself, hearing any unfortunate happenings that occur to a child really are unbearable to hear.

Thoughts & prayers to their entire family.
