Default What do you tell a 5 year old about lossing his brother or sister?

My husband and I have been trying for over a 1 1/2 to have a baby. Our prayer was answer two days before mothers day when we found out that we were pregnant. This past weekend we lost our precious baby, the baby had a passed away 3 days after we had an ultra sound done at 9 wks and 2 days. Unfortunetly, we didnt find out that we lost the baby till 10 weeks and 5 days. There are no words to describe the hurt and loss that we both feel besides its hard to make it thru every minute of everyday, especially when we have some family members that seem dead set to point the finger at one of us and blame us for the loss of our child.
My husband has a son who is 5 years old and he was very excited that he was going to have a baby sister or brother. How do we tell him at such a young age that we lost our precious baby? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
