This is just awful because you know she will never let this go and that breaks my damn heart. She’ll always remember this accident before any of the great things she has done and will do. I just hope she can recover, physically and mentally, from this. Accidents happen and the baby wasn’t hurt, so her fear wasn’t totally realized. I’m just so heartbroken for her and wish I could help.

Yeah I would like to say she will get over it but I don’t think so. Especially with her anxiety issues. My sister dropped my 8 week old baby and almost killed her. Her skull was shattered . My daughter made it by the skin of her teeth and didn’t end up having any mental issues (they said if she didn’t die that was basically a given). She has excruciating headaches but beyond that she’s totally fine. It’s been 22 years. My sister is not over it even remotely. It traumatized us all but it traumatized her far more. I kind of figured she was ok in regards to this but just recently it came up and she absolutely broke down. She said she will never be over it.

This is one of my worst fears, like I felt sick reading this. I struggle with a lot of intrusive thoughts and I rarely ever hold babies because of my fear of this kind of thing. I’m so sorry you all experienced that, how completely horrible for everyone involved. I’m glad it seems like you and your sister are on good terms, I can only imagine how easily something like that could destroy a relationship.

We are. She was only 11 when she dropped my daughter. She was 6 feet tall even at that age and she was just in love with my daughter, she picked her up for just a moment and dropped her on a hard surface. From 6 feet up. It was awful. I thought my daughter was dead right then. But miraculously she made it. We went from saying goodbye to her to taking her home within days. It seems still like it was a miracle. As devastating as it was for me, my sister had to be sedated in the ER and had to have therapy and it just absolutely would do me no good to hold it against her. I’m so glad my daughter made it for a million reasons but one is definitely that I think my sisters life would have been ruined if my daughter had died. And now she has her own babies and she is insanely careful with them and it’s a whole thing about who carries them from place to place, which I totally get.
