My beautiful daughter has gone

[cathpip]

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.

Oh my goodness, I have just read your thread. My deepest sympathies, I dont know what you are going through or how you are continuing to get through. You sound like a brave and strong woman x

Sorry for your loss

I've just read your entire thread cathpip. I'm so sorry for your loss. You and your beautiful daughter are in my thoughts tonight. x

Well it's my birthday and I got to open all my presents by myself, which I have moaned about not being able todo for years and now I can I don't want too.....Pippa was going to come on a girlie shopping trip with me, we started this last year as it gave us a good excuse to spend dh's money. Dh has the day off and he is coming shopping instead and then I have an evening of surprises, it's not the same, but I'm sure it will be lovely.

cathpip, I've never posted here before, but as I've come across your thread on your birthday, I can't go without leaving a message. I send you greetings and warmest wishes, and am thinking of you and your beautiful Pippa and your boys and your dh. Hope you have had some enjoyment today.

I've never seen your thread either, but am filled with admiration and sympathy for you. I hope you had a lovely birthday evening and that Pippa is looking down on you and is somehow there for you. Sending you best birthday wishes, plus loads of hugs. Thinking of you.

Happy birthday x

Happy Birthday.

I can't begin to understand the pain of losing a child & every anniversary must be so bittersweet for you.

Sending love from a stranger on a page.

Happy birthday Cath.
Want to echo what others have said.
I think about you and your family often

Happy Birthday you amazing, strong woman. You will meet her again one day xxx

I'm so sorry my DD was 3 and passed away on 15/11/14 due to very similar we are still waiting on full post mortem results I'm here to chat if you need to x

princesstinx I am so utterly sorry for you, you must be in a world of pain. The pain in losing Pippa has not faded, It has evolved and I have just got used to it being there now, it will be a part of me forever.
As Xmas approaches we are struggling with wanting nothing to do with it and wanting to spoil the boys rotten. Aubrey misses his sister dreadfully but has settled well into our new home, Elliott is crawling and doing a fabulous job of pestering his big brother, the love that they both have for each other is wonderful but it's deeply saddening at the same time knowing that Pippa will never be part of it.

Cath I think you are doing amazingly. The first christmas is really hard. We tried to carry on as normal for the other children, but my heart wasn't in it. This year is the 3rd without my little boy and I am looking forward to it again. Keep going xxx

Happy Christmas beautiful girl. We love you so so much. Xxxxxx

My blood just ran cold. My 3 year old ds was in hospital a+e on the 23rd, as he seemed really ill and out completely out of sorts. They diagnosed a viral infection, come back if he doesn't improve etc. He seems a lot better now but was sick again a few hours ago.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine the pain and devistation you are going through. A parents worst nightmare. Am sitting on the end of ds's bed watching him sleep as I was quite worried about him tonight again. My heart breaks for you and your family, and your lovely little angel.

hugs and prayers xxx

Can't imagine the heartbreak you must me going through. Sending you strength and love at this impossibly difficult time.

Well my darling it's January and your birthday month. Happy new year. Xx

Cathpip I just saw this thread. Wishing you strength to celebrate your daughters birth despite her being an Angel. I cannot imagine how hard this is for you x

I'm so sorry for you and your family x

I have been awake most of the night thinking of you and all the special things we would be doing today. Your brothers, (well Aubrey, Elliott was not really much help he just spread cake mix all over the floor) have helped to decorate your cake, I don't think it's possible to fit any more chocolate buttons on it. Today is your 4th birthday and there are no cards or presents just a gap, a massive gap. I love you and miss you more than anything my beautiful little girl. Xxxx

(((((hugs)))))) for you all, Cathpip - just those.

And yes, happy birthday to Pippa of course! tears in my eyes and heart...

Am full of mixed emotions as the days get lighter and the snowdrops appear. Elliott has started walking and both him and Aubrey are so excited, and I know you would be too. I also found out at Xmas that I'm expecting again, I'm happy, I really am but I would give this baby away in a heartbeat to have you back in my arms. The days and nights are too long, I don't sleep very well and I'm tired of slapping on a happy face just to leave the house and do normal things.....
