7/06/37 GD's note: Telephone request by Mrs. [
601] Tuesday
morning, July 6, 1937, around nine o'clock - "Have bad news
for you, Gladys - we have no baby. Get a Rdg. on [
480] -
find out what happened. Everything was going fine - baby was
born around seven o'clock - fine boy - couldn't get it to
breathe." By then she was crying so, I could hardly hear her
- "I don't know how we can break the news to [
480] - she
doesn't know it, is still under the influence of gas.
Fourteen hours' labor - don't know what happened; whether
they gave her too much of the rectal anaesthetic, which
killed the baby - or what. Please find out what happened,
and what to do for [
480] - she is at the Osteopathic
Hospital. Call me around seven o'clock at home." Her voice
died out and she hung up - crying.
1. What precautions should be taken to restore this body to
normal?
2. What happened to the baby that it did not stay alive?
3. Was the fault in the applications before birth or
afterwards?
4. Please explain, from a spiritual angle, this tragedy; or
was it just a physical accident?
5. Can any consolation or comfort be given through these
sources for the mother, the father and the grandparents?
6. Just how may they reconcile themselves, mentally,
physically and spiritually?
7. Did a soul enter the body of the baby for just a passing
experience, or is the same soul still waiting to enter a
child born to these parents?
7/06/37 P.M. See
480-37.
