1. What an incredibly painful life that must have been

struggling to create a life that would live. :(

[BlueIris]

2. I had no idea she had lost so many until I came across this list

6. My dear BlueIris...

How horrifying...

I wonder...Did she have any who lived into adulthood?

[BlueIris]

7. No, none survived into adulthood. The oldest (William, Duke of Gloucester, died at age 11). nt
