Sad update on Tinok haCohen ben Rachael Ruth

From the Facebook group:

baruch dayan haemet. I've been following their updates since day 1, and he was such a fighter.

Oh, so sad. Baruch Dayan Emes.
Interesting how he had to be born at 27 weeks and he lived for a couple of months, so that the parents must actually sit shiva for him. I think you don't sit shiva for a baby under a month old.

There must be some major, spiritual significance here. (I'm not expecting anyone to see it. I'm just babbling the thoughts in my head).

He may have no name but that neshomo is zocheh to have his parents sit shiva for him.
Heartbreaking for the parents and clearly alot more there than meets the eye. (I'm big into neshomos this week since I'm only half way through the shloshim for my dad..)

So sad. The baby will get a bris now, with a name.

May the family find peace.

it's so sad - you wouldnt expect a preemie who survived 11 weeks in the NICU to not make it. he was already at 38 weeks gestation at thsi point. Sad

Baruch Dayan Emes. I did not know of this story, but I'm very sad to hear of their loss. The family should be comforted and find peace.

I know the parents they are both special people. The mother was my roomate in high school, and the father is my sister-in-laws brother. It amazed me the streangth that they both had durring this whole ordeal. The levaya is Tomorrow at 8:00 PM on Har Hamenuchas at the main Ashkenazic Funeral home. May the entire family have a nechamah.

It's so sad and so horrible. I know Rachael. Her sister is supposed to be getting married this week.

I know Rachael too. Its so hard to hear of these things Sad

. BDE may their family see only simchos!

a friend of mine had a stillbirth and the baby had a bris before he was buried. that baby did not have a funeral since he did not live, and there was no shiva because he was dead before birth, but he did have a name. if a baby born dead has a name, I cannot imagine one that lived 11 weeks did not. I suspect we just don't know it yet.

They named him Aviel Efraim.

does anyone who knows the family know why they chose that name? I'm just curious.

I thought in these cases the parents don't see the brith and don't choose the name?

So very sad:( BD"E.
