We came across a post on Facebook where a woman shared screenshots of a conversation between a mom who had just lost her child and a woman who's supposed to be her friend. 

"I didn't want to put this out here, but I have no choice," the mother wrote. "(NAME REMOVED) bought me some beautiful gifts for Benjamin for when he was born.

"A soft fleece blanket, cuddly elephant, booties, some clothes and a singing toy.

"I didn't ask for these things, as I said they were gifts."

She went on to explain that her son Benjamin was born at 29 weeks and tragically didn't survive. 

She lost her baby just as she was beginning her third trimester and possibly expected some sympathy from her friends - but that's not what she received.
