My baby died. Please ask me his name - www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-45398894

So sad and brave of little Teddy's parents to share their story. I don't know how people can recover from such a profound loss and get to a place where they can talk frankly and positively about such a horrendous time of their lives.

And shame on the immediate bereavement care provided to them.

I'm so sorry. What was your baby's name?

My beautiful son died 9 and a half weeks ago and my world has completely changed. I have no idea how to be the person I was before and I doubt I ever will. I feel bitter and angry, on top of completely heartbroken and devastated. I can barely leave the house for fear of seeing pregnant women and babies everywhere.

I admire Elle and the way she has managed to stay such a wonderful person and honour Teddy so perfectly. I hope one day, i can honour my son the same. Bereavement care is improving but there is so much more to be done. October is Babyloss Awareness Month and this helps to raise awareness about a silent subject.

My wonderful son is called Robert and I love him with all of my heart.

I don’t think it is the op’s baby who died. I think that is the title of the article she has linked to.

Urbanbeetler · 08/09/2018 08:27

And I am so sorry to hear about your loss of Robert, Georgina.

It’s the cruellest loss I often think as you have no memories , and clearly don’t get the same level of support

That said the pain is what it is . Nothing can really alleive it - only time

I think it’s lovely she managed to find a peer and support group around her

If nothing else MN has taught me the things to say and not say in such a tragic circumstance
