Remembering not only what we have lost but what our darling children have given to us.

A new 'safe haven' thread. Thank you Chip for our last one which filled up in just a month. A sure sign of lots of tears, smiles and wonderful support.

All our children have taught us something whether they were born sleeping, lived just a little while, weeks, months or years. Here are mine:

Never ever take anything for granted, life can change very quickly.
Listen to yourself; your instincts will nearly always be right.
That it is possible to function seemingly normally with a broken heart.
That I have a wonderful relationship that can withstand the hardest of times.
That love and support can come from the most unexpected sources.
That I have a lot of very lovely friends, new and old.
That my family is amazing.
That no matter what it is impossible not to smile and laugh with my beautiful Katie around.
That a rainbow can provide hope in the darkest of times.
That there will be good days and bad days
That I love my children more than I ever thought possible.

For all our darling children xxx

@frasersmummy

everlong

i re-read my post and it did sound like I had you all under surveillance .... lol all I meant was rather than bitching and doing nothing I took my thoughts to mntowers.. the right think to do...

and from the answers I got they are on the ball re monitoring stuff and dealing with problems.. not on here in particular on the site as a whole
If I offended or upset then I am sorry ..

Hello all. We just wanted to pop on to add to frasersmummy's post, as we wouldn't want anyone to misinterpret what she was saying.

We're well aware that there is, unfortunately, some history of posters on the Bereavement boards being 'taken in' by other posters who weren't all they seemed.

And we're also aware that this does mean that there is, understandably, from time to time, a need for some posters to come to us to seek some reassurances that this isn't happening again.

We have been asked for those reassurances lately and have been more than happy to give them. We've also been mailed by others who've got wind that we've been asked for reassurances, iyswim - which we think is what frasersmummy was alluding to.

For the record, we have no reason to think anyone currently posting on this thread is anything other than utterly genuine.

Hello again. Just to be clear: we posted last night, not to criticise anyone - least of all frasersmummy or shabba - but to clear up any possible confusion.

We never ever have problems with anyone seeking reassurances from us at MNHQ about any poster on Mumsnet. And we particularly welcome them when the person asking is someone who has been 'burnt' by an emotional troll in the past - because we do understand how anxious and concerned they must be that this sort of thing never happens again (as are we).

We would never ban anyone who mailed in to us asking for this kind of reassurance - no matter how many times they did it. And we would hope, too, that others would understand why some posters may need to keep asking for reassurance.

We would, however, hope that folks followed our guidelines and didn't post any concerns or suspicions on the boards - where that kind of thing could cause untold hurt.

Again, we can confirm that we have no suspicions about anyone still posting on this thread.
