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.

My thoughts, love and prayers are with you all today. I wish there was some way I could take a fraction of your pain, if only for an instant.
Thanks

My thoughts are with you today, somehow you will find the strength to get through it. I too wish that I could take a fraction of the pain on your behalf. No mother should have to go through this.

I'm so so sorry.

My mum and dad lost their 18mth old boy in 73. My brother. Now I wasn't born til 76 but I still feel as if I knew him through her and her stories. Her eyes were always sad, but he's always been with us in a way still.

Hugs xxxx

Thinking of you all today - I have a candle burning in Pippa's memory today. I can't even begin to know how you feel today, but my thoughts and prayers are with you, your dh, Aubrey and Elliot. I hope that the funeral has been a fitting celebration of Pippa's short but so significant life. Sending love xx

cathpip · 24/04/2014 20:47

It was just the worst walk ever following Pippas small pink coffin into a full church whilst cradling 3 week old Elliott. The service however was beautiful, everyone singing. My dh read his words without help, the vicars address was just perfect as were the readings from friends and family. Following the hearse to the crematorium was so hard as the double takes at the hearse were plentiful.
The wake was wonderful, a packed pub and garden full of children playing and laughing and family and friends catching up, I could not have been happier with the day we have given our precious daughter esp as the sun was bright in the sky all day for us.
It's now the end of the day I am curled up in bed with Aubrey and Elliott absolutely shattered but chatting about happy times with Pippa.
The only upstaging of the day was by Elliott who decided to poo his nappy on arrival at the church which then preceded to escape everywhere, a nappy and full clothes change was required in the back of the funeral car, that has to be a first for any funeral director......

You're in my thoughts on this really tough day.

I hope you have continuing support in the coming days and months. You can always post here and find a hand to hold.

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 24/04/2014 21:54

I'm so glad to hear that today was as kind to you all as it could have been (except for Elliot's nappy!).

It's only right and proper that the church was full - Pippa touched many hearts.

Those people, and us too will stay here by your side ready to support you in any way that we can.

Xxxx

Such a sad but beautiful day. You clearly gave Pippa a day filled with love.
