EdgarAleNPie · 26/03/2011 17:48

shabs good you got your refund though.

The baby aisle/mothercare is very hard when you don't have the baby.i hope you get there caz - you and your little second heartbeat.

innumerable things feel difficult at the moment - particularly anything to do with the hospital. just anything that reminds me of it hurts.

DD has been sad sometimes but rather bored and lonely. she asked to put our 7 monther on the push-and-ride with her. not yet!

funeral sorted for weds. will be dressed in colours, with paper flwers from nursery, with music from in the night garden. hopefully i can make my peace with the Pinky-ponk (have been crying when it comes on) - feel very bad about reading DS stories to keep him quiet whilst he was (as it turned out) dying.

EdgarAleNPie · 26/03/2011 17:49

sad to see such a long list of children to remember - it really shouldn't happen. children shouldn't die.

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 26/03/2011 18:59

Sorry to hear about your mum Shabs. I hope they get to the bottom of the anaemia. I can imagine how hard it is going back to the hospital. Those bloody places still send a shiver through me.

I'll be thinking of you all on Weds Edgar, what you have planned sounds lovely.

DS and I saw ITNG for the first time when he was in hospital and when he went into PICU we bought him an Iggle Piggle that plays the theme tune and some of Iggle Piggle's noises. For a long time after his death I could not bare the sound of the theme tune and if I accidently heard it I would crumble. Three years on we still have his Iggle Piggle in our bed with us and I can watch ITNG with ds2 without wanting to throw up, but the programme will forever remind me of C, and for that I am glad. I can't say I was at the time because it was so bloody painful, but now I am. I sincerely hope it will be for you too.

How are YOU doing Edgar? You never mention yourself. I know you're saying you are 'ok' and 'alright' to people in rl, but you don't have to here if you don't want to.

peterpansmum · 26/03/2011 19:24

long day... Am shattered and finally heading home. today gregor has been dead for longer than he was alive Sad xx

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 26/03/2011 19:30

{{{PPM}}}

Please please don't dwell on that thought, it's just too horrible to contemplate isn't it.

Bloody hell it is all so unfair and there is no rhyme or reason or understanding it either.

Take care PPM xxxx

peterpansmum · 26/03/2011 20:26

Thanks ilike. I'm ok I just felt the need to write it down and acknowledge it somewhere and here seemed as good a place as any. Am home now but exhausted... Early night beckons!

How is everyone else doing today? Xx

peterpansmum · 26/03/2011 20:50

Thanks everlong n hazy xx i've done too much today but at least I recognise I have.... Tomorrow is ds1 and me time... Have also just realised the bloody clocks go fwd tonight too!!! X

travellingwilbury · 26/03/2011 20:55

Hello all x

ppm I found that so hard , but remember he was alive inside of you for 9 months too so you have longer than you think xx (doesn't help much just means you can out off this shite feeling for a wee while)

Shabs How is your mum doing today ? Hospitals are so hard to go into especially when it is so close to home . I know I struggled when my brother was in and it wasn't even the same place x

Edgar ITNG does sound like a lovely thing to do but if you really think it will be too much then don't feel you have to . But to be honest they coould play the theme tune to Cagney and Lacey and it will probably have much thesame effect . Wednesday is going to be so hard for you all but it will also have its most gorgeous moments . Hold onto them xx

Everlong it is lovely to see you popping back , how are you doing ?

Ilike How are you and that bump getting on ? It can't be long now !

wigglesrock · 26/03/2011 22:24

Sorry for wandering over but just wanted to leave a message for janedoe25 - will be thinking of you, all your family and especially Zoe on Monday. Wanted to post today as little sister is getting married on Tue and will be disappearing into the land of bridezilla for a few days. Think of Zoe most days but especially when I put Anna in pink!! Always in our thoughts and prayers xx

janedoe25 · 26/03/2011 23:26

Hi wiggles Thank you for your kind thoughts, i have been lurking on the feb thread not been posting much but still like to check that you are all ok. Cant believe that Zoe has been gone for a whole month! But things have been getting more bearable as the days go by.
Hope you have a fab time at the "royal" wedding! xxx

lavandes · 26/03/2011 23:49

ppm sending you lots of love and hugs. You are such a special mum, xxx

Edgar you, your precious little boy and your family are in my thoughts xxx

shabs hope you are coping and that your mum will soon be back to normal. When I retire I think I may take some time to go to the nursing home my mum was in and spend time just chatting to the old folks. I know they like just chatting and reminiscing. I think old people are so interesting. My mum had such a lovely story to tell about when she moved from Yorkshire to Cornwall, it was probably worse 57 years ago than our son moving to Australia now, considering there was not the same means of communcation as there are now, she was almost completely cut off from her close family. I miss her so much now, she would have looked after me and known what to say to me, and not got it wrong. I understand completely when you say that your parents are 'your rock'. When we were told that Richard had died my first thought was 'I want my mum' and |I was 58. I still want her, but she is probably busy looking after my dad and Richard xx
