Rev Run's Newborn Daughter Dies

Wednesday September 27, 2006
From TMZ comes this hefty news of the death of Rev Run's daughter. The Run-DMC rapper's newborn girl was pronounced dead at Valley Hospital in Ridgewood New Jersey on Tuesday (September 26th). The child, reportedly delivered through c-section, was said to have been born with organs outside the body.

Run and his family sparked some interest when they announced his wife Justine's pregnancy on their MTV reality show, "Run's House," last season. Fans have since followed the pregnancy keenly, and according to reports, MTV cameras were inside the hospital at the time of the birth. It must be very difficult to deal with such a loss while cameras are rolling. Our condolences go out to the entire Simmons family. (Source: TMZ.com)

WORDS CANT EVEN EXPRESS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. I CANT EVEN SAY I AM A FAN, ALL I CAN SAY IS I AM APART OF THE FAMILY. IT SEEMS SINCE I HAVE NEVER MISSED AN EPISODE, EVENT, OR COMMERCIAL OF THE SIMMONS FAMILY(RUNS HOUSE), I FEEL THAT I AM TRULY A RELATIVE. I LOVE ALL OF U, AND I LOVE THE BABY AS WELL. I CRYED SO BAD WHEN I HEARD THE TRAGEDY, BUT THAT ONLY GOES TO SHOW, NO MATTER HOW GOOD U R TO GOD,THE WORLD IS NOT PERFECT, AND TRAGEDIES COME TO MAKE YOU STRONGER. GOD IS LOVE, AND LOVE IS GOD.

I was very saddened to hear the news. My kids and I watched the show all the time. It was obvious how excited Justine was about the baby. May the comfort of your family help you through this unbearable time. Don’t give up on hope and your faith.

The only comfort to be found in this tragedy is the strength of this Family. I am deeply saddened by the news of their baby girls untimely death. I am confident they will be able to maintain the grace they are known for. My thoughts are with each of them.

My prayer goes out to the family.I pray that you will have peace. I want to share some advice I was given. Grief has many faces(sadness,anger,denile etc),allow yourself to go through each emotion because if you don’t it will make the process last much longer. Justine, this is not your fault!! Men grieve in their own way. Remeber that when it seems like he does not care. This is not a time to be strong or brave for anyone. Your children will be alright, they will greive even if you are strong. Run,sometimes just listening or a shoulder to cry on is all your wife may need you to do.Your wife’s hormones are going to have difficulty adjusting because the loss came so close to your daughter’s birth.Don’t let satan use this difficult time to tear your family apart.Often couples have a lot of difficulty after the death of a child.This is not a time for pride, professional grief counseling helps.

So So Sad. I saw the previews for that show and they had to tell there other children that the baby didnt make it.
I couldn’t help it, I cried like that was my baby. I have a 7 month old and i could not imagine him not being in my life. If you have 1 child or 10 kids and you lose one, a part of you is lost too. To carry a living thing for 40 weeks, and then give birth, and your baby does not go home with you. That is the worst feeling in the world and i pray for all mothers that have to go thru that…. She was an angel, and GOD needed her back home. The simmons’ Loved her but god loved her best…

I just want to wish the family the best and to take it one day at a time..I lost my 3rd son Last June 14th..He was stillborn due to knots in the umbilical cord and when he dropped they tightned. It has been very hard for my family, but God had a reason for taking My Angel Carter, I found out 3 months later I was pregnant again and this time its a girl..God knew we needed a little princess in our family. I broke down and cried so hard watching the episode. God Bless

I lost 5 babies and I even accused my fiance of not caring so when the poster said men grieve in different ways they are right. My heart goes out to the whole family. I could not bear getting to know them first. I am way behind in watching episodes but could not stop watching last night when you brought a new baby home. I know you will be great parents.
