David Pastrnak shares the heartbreaking loss of his son

[MoreMogilny]

The absolute worth nightmare as a parent.

I’m heartbroken for him and his family. I wish for them all to get time to heal. Thoughts and prayers out to them all

 

[Kent Nilsson]

I cant imagine how horrible this must be.

 

[Alicat]

My thoughts are with David and Rebecca. Just awful.

 

[SI90]

Horrible. Hate when this happens. Thinking about Pasta, his wife, and his family through this devastating time.

 

[leeroggy]

All Isles fans send you our heartfelt sympathy and prayers Pasta

 

[JackZap]

ugh just awful. Condolences to him and his family.

 

[Gardner McKay]

As a parent that came seconds away from losing his child during child birth... this hits so hard.

I feel terrible for him. Ugh.

 

[swimmer77]

Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

[amjay13]

May Pastranak and his partner find the strength to get through such a tragic loss.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Unimaginable. Hopefully they’re able to take a step back from the public this summer and process this, to the extent that it’s possible to process.

 

[CREW99AW]

Can't imagine how painful this is for Pastrnak and his family. My prayers are with them.

 

[Burnaby Schmo]

RIP Baby Pasta.

All the peace in the world to the family. Nothing breaks my heart more than worrying about the welfare of my own children and I wouldn't wish something like this on anyone.

 

[BillPrep]

thoughts are with you and the missus and the little one, pasta...

 

[AlwaysSunnyInTampa]

You know it's terrible when your first thought is "I hope the other players who have lost their children born/unborn like this recently are reaching out to him right now" God I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry David. Remember: tears are prayers too.

 

[Reno]

Just awful. Happened to a friend of mine 2 years ago and he's still trying to recover.

Happened to my sister and her best friend on the same day in the same hospital on Christmas eve. Absolutely brutal for the Pasternak family. The grief they must be feeling is unimaginable.

 

[Troublesome 85]

No parent should ever have to lose a child. I feel his pain

 

[Ladyfan]

This makes me so sad.

David seems like such a loving young man. He lost his own father when he was quite young.

I just want to hug Pasta.

There are no right words for times like these.

 

[Czechboy]

A lot of us have probably lost a child in the first 3 months of pregnancy with the miscarries. That is so hard but you, somehow, get over it. Once you hit 3 months.... the odds of making 9 months go up exponentially. I cannot imagine losing a child after giving birth to it. My heart goes out to him and his girlfriend. So awful.

 

[BB88]

Worst thing you can think of.
Just heartbreaking.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

This is truly heartbreaking.

RIP Viggo.

 

[ReggiesLemons]

That is awful. I can't even begin to fathom what he and his family are going through.

If there is a saving grace in all of this, at least the Bruins were eliminated early so he got to spend as much time as possible with the little guy.

R.I.P. Viggo.

 

[Perfect_Drug]

Heartbreaking. I can't even imagine what he and his family are going through. I have a little guy that spent the first part of his life in NICU. He eventually got better but it scared the shit out of me. Go hug your kids today and tell them you love them.

Thoughts are with you and yours, David....

Same thing. I lost my brother and my mom in the past 4 years, I spent a significant amount of time in the ICU.

When my daughter was born and rushed off to the NICU, I absolutely lost it, even though I was told she was fine. Seeing those tubes in her, and coughing for 2 days was the hardest thing I'd ever been through.


This is the most awful thing to ever conceivably happen to the Pastrnak family.
This is the worst nightmare for any parent. My heart goes out to them. I can't even begin to imagine the hell they're in.


Now they'll have to go home, and tell friends and family there's no baby. And store away everything from their nursery, and all the baby shower gifts they received, and the million reminders of the life they were supposed to have.

RIP Little Pasta

 

[1point21Gigawatts]

That poor family is living out any parent's nightmare. I hope Pastrnak and his family find strength and solace in each other as they honor and remember this little one. My heart aches for them.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

I cannot even begin to imagine what this feels like for the Pasta family.

I have a wonderful 4 year old boy so these types of stories hit me much harder than they would have 5 years ago...

Prayers to everybody involved and R.I.P to little Pasta.
