My baby boy is being cremated tomorrow.

[Lillygolightly]

My sweet baby boy is being cremated tomorrow morning at 9:15am. He was born too early to stay in my arms as he should have done, and I am so heartbroken.

I’ve only just found out the time and date of his cremation this evening. I though I would have more notice, time to plan and do something special in his honour and to remember him. Sadly that is not the case, so I thought I would turn to the power of mumsnet and ask if all you lovely people could spare a thought and wish my baby boy good luck on his journey to the stars tomorrow. It would just be so lovely and would mean an awful lot to me to know that he is being thought of tomorrow.

His name is Alexander and he was born on 16/02/21 💙

Thank you in advance.

Oh my lovely. I'm so so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you xx

I just wanted to come back a say a very sincere and heartfelt thanks to all of you who posted, who lit candles, wrote poems and wonderfully kind words. Thank you. It has been such a comfort to know so many were thinking of my sweet boy and wishing us well.

This day has been so hard, it rained and the clouds were so dark and grey....it perfectly reflected my sadness. Then after a while the sun shone bright and the sky was blue and it was beautiful and peaceful.

I bought him a special candle today and I will be lighting it tonight for him and for all the other Angel babies and children. I hope my Alexander is now making some very special friends among the stars.

That was definitely your Alexander sending you sunshine. Xx

I am glad the sun shone for you and your darling Alexander. He will always be your boy.

You are both in my thoughts. Wishing you all the very best for the days ahead.

I am glad the sun shone for you. Sending love to you and special thoughts to Alexander.

This brought tears to my eyes. So very sorry .

Oh OP so sorry for the loss of your precious Alexander. Will be keeping you and all the others who have lost their little ones in my thoughts

your boy sent that sunshine to let you know it will be okay. Not the okay that you want, or would choose, but you will always have this boy and his love, and he yours.

Tears for you today, so many have been sending love, and thinking of you and your lovely baby. There is a post further back from Twatterati which is so comforting and wise. I hope you will get some sleep, and that you will find sunshine in unexpected places to help you and your family. Sending love xx

So sorry. Sending you love and strength. RIP Alexander 💙

Thinking of you and your darling boy and sending you peace and love.

Oh OP Rest in Peace Alexander.

I had a son who was born too early and died shortly after birth so I know the pain 💙

I missed this but I've a candle lit for your little one. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss xx

Rest in peace sweet Alexander. Hugs to you Mum. I am thinking of you both.

Alexander is such a beautiful name. Thinking of you x

I’m so sorry for your loss. You’ll all be in my thoughts tonight and tomorrow 💙

Sending love. I understand that loss. It's 23 years since my baby son died but I think of him often. He is with you forever in your heart.
Sleep safely little Alexander.

Darling Alexander. You were too pure and innocent for this world, you have left your mummy heartbroken. Fly high sweet boy and keep your mummy close x
