Obviously not to playgroups etc, but I've got a baby at home and don't think I can cope otherwise. Is there anywhere we can safely go where there won't be lots of kids/pregnant women?

If you posted anything onto the bereaved mums thread it will have been deleted - like most other stuff on there.....most of the posts have been deleted, the thread title has been deleted (and it was beautiful) - it feels like our safe haven special thread has been peed on from a great height - none of us are very happy as I am sure you must all be able to understand Angry all our emotions and outpourings ruined - not happy - not happy at all....

nannylocal · 02/10/2010 19:32

I think earlier in this thread she said something along the lines of 'all my children are dead', so I don't think she has any others..also on the blog she mentions people telling her she should have another baby. I don't think SS has any other children.

I'm sure we can get that put back Shabba - an unintended consequence - we will ask Techs to restore

Because they are uncaring fucking bastards could, and Sassy had started the thread.

I couldn't give a fluying fuck if Charlie Manson himself started it - it was drawing in lurkers and other new posters who finally felt strong enough to post.

But they don't give a fuck about that, do they/ As long as MNHQ rules are adheared to, fuck everyone else.

Oh whoopy doo Justine - sorry to be a sarcastic cow but this afternoon has been distressing to say the least - cannot understand why the most supportive thread on mn has just been wrecked. Without any warning - would appreciate it being put back as it was before - it is an insult to all the mums and all the precious lost children.

thefirstmrsDeVere · 02/10/2010 19:44

I sometimes wonder if people think I am making it all up, online and in RL.

Wish I was. All a bit bollocksy at the moment.

Just to add to the different styles of posting thing.

I can be on several threads on MNS at the same time. One one I might be screaming my head off and cursing the world for what happened to my DD,

On another I might be taking the piss out of Cheryl Cole (for example).

There is no logic in grief. Its mental.

Portofino · 02/10/2010 19:45

I think that SS's threads sounded VERY true. I read her blog and cried. I don't know what to think about all this at all. I am just sorry for ANYONE who has lost a child, and particularly those caught up in all this.

If I really think about it, she never mentioned her DH in anything. How he was coping, how it had affected them as a couple. It was about her. But also I could have missed this and be talking out of my arse.

I have never seen the like of this on MN before and feel very Sad for people who have been hurt by this thread.

This thread is so incredibly sad - my heart goes out to everyone who has suffered the loss of a child and whatever the outcome feel that we should all try to be kinder to each other in the future.

mumbar · 02/10/2010 19:54

Porto - SS recently had a thread about going back to work, she did mention her DH, also in one about going to church too. I guess tho this is mumsnet, for her it is all about her and Catherine.

I do to think the thread sound very true and if its because of previous trolling its a very difficult situation, FWIW not an easy one for MNHQ to decide about. Dammed if they do , dammed if they don't here I think.

MNHQ, if you verify SS is who she says will she be allowed to return? As a bereaved mother this could be her lifeline.

Indeed - with the Dizzy thing, I cried in the office and made a donation to SANDS in the twins memory. At least the money went to people in genuine need.

arses · 02/10/2010 20:01

And I really do think that Sassy has probably lost her daughter Sad.

And maybe she was a horrendous old Internet cow, with lots of unresolved anger, and now she has a whole world of anger to contend with that will never go away.

I suppose what I said much earlier in the thread holds true: nothing you do, for better or for worse, can cause you to lose a child in this way or protect you from it. So bad things happen to good people, but also to people who were less-than-goodl to people who had never known an ounce of trouble in all their live long days and to people who have already suffered more than their fair share; to people with calm, Zen-like personalities and those who are prone to bitterness.

It's just such a shame for everyone. Such a shame. Because Sassy's grief does ring true, and her anger.. and I can imagine that she may have been an angry person before. I guess when something like this happens, it happens to the person you are, with all your baggage (and past trolling identities etc).

I think people can confer a sort of saintliness on the bereaved (or parents of children with special needs) that is neither warranted nor, in most cases from what I've read, welcome. There's open membership to this awful nightmarish club, and everyone you love and everyone you hate might one day join it.

It doesn't make what Sassy has written any less true. I am less and less inclined to believe that the story is fake: I just think that she was an angry lady about silly, trivial things and now she is an angry lady about the most profound of losses imaginable.

I hope all the mums from bereavement are doing okay tonight. This must have been bloody exhausting.

frasersmummy · 02/10/2010 20:03

Sassy's blog has a mobile number and invite to go visit her, see her daughter's pictures,.see her death certificate go visit her grave

how sad is that????

I had nowhere to post my feelings re the son I lost till feedmenow was brave enough to start the original bereaved mummies thread

and now that lifeline has been taken away fron Sassy

MNHQ please contact Sassy and sort this out

please MNHQ i know what its like to find somewhere you can say what you feel and have people say oh god yeah i have been there

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 02/10/2010 20:06

I am inclined to agree with deemented - whatever happenened and whatever she did in the past, the death of her daughter has changed SS.

I only looked briefly at the Safe Haven thread earlier, but have looked again, and removing all her posts seems to me to have removed a vital piece of the framework of the thread - and if I were a bereaved parent who had found solace posting on that thread, I would feel sick at heart at what had happened.

Perhaps we could ask MNHQ to restore SS's posts under a blank nickname - might that help?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Justine - could MNHQ do this, please?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Portofino · 02/10/2010 20:07

The blog contained raw grief! I can't see how you can make that stuff up. Well I guess you could be a fantastic writer but even then...

Summerbird73 · 02/10/2010 20:08

this thread is freaking me out Hmm

zeno · 02/10/2010 20:09

MrsDeVere, I so hear you! I recall my very first post on our thread was along the lines of "I can't tell you about all the things that have happened in my life in the last couple of years because you'll all think I'm a troll".

I don't know if Sassy's posts on there have been reinstated yet but they ought to be. Those posts have meaning and resonance in that context. They have nothing whatsoever to do with aggressive trolling behaviours. Bad call to remove them.

nannylocal · 02/10/2010 20:11

That's a good post arses. Thing is though if she had just posted horrible, bitter, angry things in the past then her previous 'trolls' could be explained like this. But she also created/borrowed a persona and posted (quite believably) about her family and step-kids and her pregnancy etc. If she just wanted to vent she could have done it as 'Susan, mother of one' without creating the whole backstory of her other character. It just makes it so much more confusing.....

Whatever the truth am so sorry about the destruction to the bereaved parents safe haven.
