This special thread was started in 2008. Its a special place - one which nobody would ever willingly come to. I hope we pay tribute to our lost children by helping each other. xxxx

Hi ladies

I feel that I must stay away for a while. I will never forget the love and support I have had from you all but I feel I must take a break . xxx

Sorry to hear that you need to take a break Lavandes, wishing you gentle days and weeks.

I am not sure if I am allowed to do this so apologies if not. I will understand if the link is removed. I nominated our hospital chaplain as she has been truly amazing since Ava died for an award. She has been shortlisted and the event is the day before Ava's 4th birthday next week. If anyone would be kind enough to vote that would be amazing. It's free and no need to register. Link is here

Remembering my son James today although it's not as if I forget. Happy 15th Birthday. Love you always xx

SalmonellaDeGhoul · 16/10/2013 09:51

Happy birthday, James xx

orangeflutie · 16/10/2013 15:08

Thank you SalmonelladaGhoulSmile it's good to hear. As each year passes his name doesn't pop up in conversation much and I feel more sad. He was here and did exist so thanks again.

I don't usually post on this thread so hope this is ok with everyone.

SalmonellaDeGhoul · 16/10/2013 15:18

Of course, orange. You don't need to purchase a license or anything to post here . Grin

Happy 15th birthday James.

I real,t hate it when people act like my child has disappeared. People acting like he never existed.

My niece was doing some poetry yesterday and was studying a poem from the pov of a mother on the loss of her son. It was so sad. She needed help on a presentation and all I could do was cry. Hmm

shabbatheGreek · 17/10/2013 06:51

Hi just wanted to let you know i finally had my baby
He was born last thu by c section he came out pink and screaming
I was longing so much to hear him cry me and dh both were

I'm very sore still

Of course it's been a bit strange with emotions flying all over the place
With ds1 on our minds all the time

Had to fight off a lot of upsetting comments about how when it's your second this and that etc

When this baby is my third

Ds1 will always be my second

And comments like now your a mother of two....

Ouch how they sting me to the core

But I I think I'm doing quite well stick up for myself and ds1

Sometimes I feel a bit guilty towards ds2 that I think of ds1 so much but i wil get used to it

I keep going to call ds2 ds1 name and in fact hd actually did last night
I've not actually said it out loud yet
I just kinda think it in my mind

Anyway don't want to go on, just wanted to let you know what was goin go n with me xxxx

I hope you all are well and I think of you all very much xxxx

shabbatheGreek · 17/10/2013 10:13

Many congratulations White - thats wonderful xx

Welcome to the world little boy xx

I struggled with the name thing as well. I can imagine how your emotions are all over the place.

Sending love to you and your family xxx

SalmonellaDeGhoul · 17/10/2013 13:52

white, how wonderful! I'm really happy for you. The name thing is normal and I mean that as in I call ds1 by ds2's name and ds2 by ds3's name etc. I know all my boys are living but I don't think it would be any different if I had lost one, if you know what I mean.
And it's natural that you would think of ds1. Of course you do xxxx

Helyantha · 17/10/2013 21:02

Congratulations White! Welcome to the world, little one xx

MiaAlexandrasmummy · 17/10/2013 22:40

White, that is wonderful news. Yes, you will be all over the place with your emotions, but enjoy those lovely snuggles. Xx
