Pippa passed away in the early hours of this morning after a viral infection led to blood poisoning, she was 3 years old. Her and her big brother were so excited as 10 days ago I had a baby. I am so utterly lost and heartbroken.

That must be a really hard thing to hear, about the medicine delay, Cathpip. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss and the subsequent details.
Lots of love and sympathy to you and your family.

AlpacaYourThings · 12/04/2014 22:28

Oh, cathpip that must have been awful to hear. I'm so sorry.

CheckpointCharlie · 12/04/2014 22:30

How heartbreaking, I am so sorry.

I'm so sorry your beautiful girl has gone

There are no words but there is plenty of love here x

BeaWheesht · 12/04/2014 22:34

cathpip I wish I could say something that would help even a tiny bit but I am sending you my heartfelt sympathies

Cathpip

I really have no substantial words but I had to post to send my love.

Your story (sorry to use that word, I am not trying to minimise the tragedy) has made me stop in my tracks and reassess what I've got.

I lost my DD at birth - in a way that was easier than what you're going through because I never got to know her, because of this grieving was less complicated (mums of stillbirths may understand - if not then I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend).

How you even to begin to mourn the loss of a beautiful, vibrant 3yr old is beyond me. I actually smiled when you wrote that shortly before her death she was arguing with staff over a pink cup - that will be a bitter sweet memory that will be with you forever.

To say that you are on a long journey of healing is an understatement - you haven't yet taken the first step. BUT you will, and minute by minute then hour by hour and finally day by day you'll get through things until you start to see a light at the other side of the tunnel.

I really do send you love and best wishes, from one mum to another.

Your darling Pippa is in my prayers. xxxxxx

FiloPasty · 12/04/2014 22:37

Cathpip my heart is breaking for you. I'm glad it sounds like you have some practical support, I hope you get some answers.

Sleep tight beautiful Pippa xxx

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 12/04/2014 22:45

Gorgeous little girl. So very sorry for you and your family.

CiderwithBuda · 12/04/2014 22:56

I am so very sorry. Your Pippa was a gorgeous girl.

I'm distraught for you having to hear of the hospital issues. You don't need that. I am incensed at the paeditrician's comment. What has the nhs come to?

But that is not for now. Now is to say how gorgeous Pippa was. And how sorry I am for your loss. Words are so empty at times.

Timeforanewname2014 · 12/04/2014 23:22

What a beautiful photo. I am so sorry for your loss. RIP little Pippa.

whitewineandchocolate · 12/04/2014 23:28

I never post but so so sorry for your loss. Xx

Tranquilitybaby · 12/04/2014 23:29

So sorry for your loss of your beautiful little girl. Xxx

MimsyBorogroves · 12/04/2014 23:52

So sorry for the loss of your beautiful girl.

Northernlurker · 13/04/2014 09:24

It sounds like your poor husband has some serious concerns about what happened. There will be somebody in that hospital who will hear those concerns and will act. If you are able to take that forward - and it's not something to think about now - but if you are then something will change.

Continuing to think and pray for you all.

oohdaddypig · 13/04/2014 14:33

Cathpip - I'm still praying for you nightly. And your beautiful girl. I cannot begin to imagine the distress of having to relive these details.

Dumpling - Flowers. Your post moved me to tears.

SecretWitch · 13/04/2014 15:21

You are in my thoughts. I'm sending huge hugs from the US. May love surround your family. Xx

IkeaFurnitureAssemblyChampions · 13/04/2014 15:29

Cathpip, there is nothing I can say that can possibly help. I'm just hoping that every little message you get here helps you to feel less alone, even if it's just for a moment. I'm so desperately sorry for the loss of your adorable little girl. xxx

janey68 · 13/04/2014 19:37

I don't know what to say but just want to echo everyone else's words. I am so, so sorry this terrible thing has happened. You are in my thoughts, as are dumplings and the others on here who sadly understand your pain only too well.

twinklesunshine · 13/04/2014 20:49

I'm so very sorry. My little boy was 3 when he died 2 years ago. His was a sudden death too, he was fine when he went to bed and just died. We had to be interviewed by police and have a pm too. I really want to be of some comfort/help to you, as for me, all I wanted in those bleak early days was for there to be someone that could understand and I could talk to. If I can be of any use to you then I will. I'm away for a few days at the moment, so I have limited Internet, but I'm back tomorrow evening and will send you a private message then. In the meantime, if you would like to message me about anything at all, and I mean anything, please do and I will reply when I get home.when my son died I was left with a 4 year old and a 7 month old, both boys, so I understand a little of what these days are like for you. Obviously everyone is different and no grief is the same, but please please use me as much as you need. Sending love xx

feathermucker · 13/04/2014 21:47

My thoughts and prayers are with you Thanks xxxxxx
