**Back story** (since that can be important):  Married, happily, three children, 1 and 2 were planned, 3 was proof that prevention methods do not work.  
3 weeks ago we learned that we were going to be parents again (oldest is 6, youngest 2.5), that is until last night.  This afternoon the doctor confirmed that the baby is no longer viable; no heart beat, no growth since the last ultrasound,.... 
 
**Advice needed**: I am beside myself, this being our first experience dealing with the loss of a child, unborn though he/she may be.  I am not sure how to console my wife.  I am not sure how to process what I am feeling.  I am not sure how to talk about this.  Granted, my mind knows that it is still early, but try telling my heart that and the tears start to flow.

My family is everything for me.  I am supposed to be the protector the provider, the rock that supports, yet I feel so powerless not being able to do anything.  I am having trouble and need words of wisdom and comfort (yes irony is alive in seeking help from the interwebs...it is not lost on me).
