to wonder what IPOAT stands for?

[Hullygully]

Oh I'm not sad - just exhausted. Good do with losing a stone as well but that's another moan

I'm staggered at some of the reviews

Jins, you said it: I just need some time that's not involved with dealing with teenagers, working or cleaning.

So take some. Arrange something. I am really looking forward to going out with my mates for a curry tonight. It's only an evening, but it's good for the soul. Go on, arrange something.

Stone-shmoan.

Hold your breath and suck your cheeks in, Much easier.

I've got a thread in AIBU which no one is posting on. Go on and try and get it going! Its a namechange, btw, but about 50/50 sharing with ExPrat

I second the stone-schmoan.

Get thee some Spanx and self-tanner!

Couldn't find it, Mimi..but you are certainly not BU whatyever it is.

I couldn't find it either, but I agree.

starts with aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah strawpoll

Oh my dear friends, please visit Edgar's thread in bereavement. You are all so good with advice and support, I'm sure she'd appreciate your words.

Oh shitting fuck.

Poor poor poor Mr Poe.

Thanks, Umami, I had no idea.

What's happened? IS there a link? I looked but couldn't find anything.

Have found it.

Oh my God. I'm just so, so sorry.

Poor Lovely Edgar, and Mrd Edgar and the mini Edgars.

Can we do anything? I mean, I know we can't do anything, but still...

There is a thread in chat about doing something. I think there is a plan to make her a nice snuggly blanket, full of love, with many people doing a square each.

But as you say, what can you do? It is impossible to even put yourself in her place and think 'what would help?'.

I am rubbish a craft stuff. But I think the idea of a tree planted would be lovely at some point. A little IPOAT tree maybe?

Yes a tree would be lovely, wouldn't it. I can't stop crying and I don't know what to say.
I think a snuggly blanket would be very nice, but I'm terrible at crafts too. I do like the idea of sending fabric squares, though.

A tree. Good plan.

I know that Gib and everyone on here feels so terribly much for anyone who has lost a child.

Don't worry about how you express yourself, it shows you care.

I shall plant a tree in Greece, an IPOAT tree for Poe minor.

That is a wonderful idea Hully. I love the idea of lots of IPOAT trees sprouting in memory of Poe Minor, and all beloved babies lost to us.

I can plant one in Minnesota. Fir trees do especially well and look beautiful in winter. Snow-covered and Christmassy.
