Feeling very sad. He was born prematurely... He had a brain haemorrhage at birth.. We had to make the decision to switch off his life support two hours later...
I've been thinking so much... Would he be married now and would I have grandchildren?
Mum and I were driving home just now and Stay Another Day came on the radio... I was sobbing... That was No 1 when ds1 was born.
Ds2 is coming home tomorrow and we are going to the grave... Just wish I had both of them with me... 😔 😔 😔 😔

So sorry. Look after yourself however you want to.

I am so sorry. Would you like to tell us his name?

I'm so sorry you lost your first son. It's a shitty time of year when you associate what should be a happy time with such a loss. Look after yourself.

Oh OP I’m so sorry. We lost our DD this year, my first, she died at 40 weeks and was stillborn. It’s is early days for us by I always wonder what she’d be like now, nearly one, and what she’d be doing. I don’t think that will ever go away and we will always miss our children that are not with us.

So sad that you lost him around Christmas time too

So sorry for your loss. Thinking about Jack. I'm sure he would have grown up to be a fine young man, surrounded by love x

I'm so sorry op and ReeRi. Love and thoughts to you both Flowers

Flowers for Jack and for your family

willowmelangell · 21/12/2019 16:43

Sending you my love @Elderflower14. Anniversaries are so, so hard. My little boy would be 25 now. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to have him hug me now. It is not the memories I have that bother me. It is wondering what he would look like in a school uniform or what his first girlfriend would be like. And yes, I have wondered about grandchildren too.

I am so sorry for your loss.Flowers

firstimemamma · 21/12/2019 16:46

Really sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how you must be feeling Thanks

So sorry OP.

For Jack💐
For you💐

LouLou789 · 21/12/2019 16:52

I am so sorry. I lost my first son late in pregnancy 31 years ago. I always wonder who he would have been.
Look after yourself, especially tomorrow. I’m glad you will have DS2 with you.

It’s 20 years tomorrow since I lost my sister and niece too OP. I’ve had a little cry today, the horror of the day is hard to forget and the lost years feels so unfair. I’ll be thinking of your little Jack tomorrow now too when I light my candles. Wishing you and yours a peaceful Christmas Flowers
