Unforseen future

I heard some bad news last few weeks. My father's bestfriend lost his newborn grandaughter last month. I didnt know whether it's the nurse mistakes or whatsoever, but hearing a story like that making me blaming the hospital.
This event happen when the mom had denggi when she was 36 weeks pregnant. She been told that in order to make sure that the baby didnt get infected too is by doing a c-sect. So she agreed. After giving birth, the doctor did some test and said that the baby is free from denggi. The mom have to go through a blood transfusion since she had a severe denggi infection while the baby was in the incubator since she was prematured baby. The policy is when the baby is premature, she/he had to be in the incubator to be monitored.
After a week, the mom's condition getting better so she been discharged. On the 1st day being discharged, the mother went to the hospital to bf her daughter. After bf her daughter, she went home and a few minutes after that, the nurse call her asking her to went back to the hospital. It happen that the baby is too weak. Turn out that she had denggi and the nurse/doctor didnt realise it. And it became worst when the hospital doesnt has equipment to do some blood transfusion for the baby. They call gov hospital and being rejected since they're full with baby with denggi. SDMC came to the rescue when they agreed to treat the baby. But by that time, the baby is too weak to be saved. So she died when she was about 8 days old.
It may or may not be the hospital mistakes, but still, they should be prepared for the worst isnt it. They are dealing with lives.
What makes feel so sad is that she and her husband was waiting for a long time for a baby. For 3-4yrs to finally get pregnant. But i guess when it meant to be, it meant to be. Who are we to question what will happen in the future right.
I feel so sad and cried as it brings back the memories of mine when i had miscarriage. I couldnt even imagine what she will go through especially when she had to go through confinement without a baby.
And few days after that, through fb, i found out that one of my photographer during wedding's wife has just delivered a baby. A beautiful baby i can i say. I saw all the pic he posted which included his wife. A week after that i learned that his wife past away. It make me scared because it suddenly come to my senses that we will never knew our future. We may be happy but at the same time we may be sad. I couldnt imagine how he felt when he has a newborn daughter without his wife to share the happiness with.
One case, the mother survived but the baby did not. Another case, the baby survived but not the mother. Frankly, i know all of us going to die soon or later but when i learnt both story, it seriously make me scared as we never know what will happen to us.
Semoga Allah memberi petunjuk dan merahmati kehidupan kita di dunia ini, InsyaAllah.
