We are broken.
I'm posting because I'm hoping to hear from someone who has been through something similar who can tell me something comforting.
Our baby was ill with a fever and a viral infection but her heart was unable to cope.
She was our only child.

here is the thread for bereaved parents. The women there are wonderful and will know how you feel.

Such tragic news. I am so very sorry Flowers

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how broken you must be feeling, it's all of our worst nightmares Sad.

I know there are organisations out there that can offer support, really hope someone comes along and links you to a few of them and the bereavement thread just mentioned.

I can only tell you how terribly sad I am for you - my heart goes out to you. I want to just share with you my friends experience as she went through something very similar.. it was tough, very tough for the first few months - huge ups and downs .. but over time she has come to terms with her loss and is able to manage it - we can talk about her son without any of us crying and we celebrate and remember him. Her later children talk about their older brother they never met and he remains a big part of their family. I just so sorry you have to go through this journey .. support is the most important thing you can get now and a place to talk about and remember your daughter..

Anais, I am so very, very sorry. One of the most poignant pieces of advice I was given was to 'just breathe', and that is all you can do at this time, here is a link to a lady who's posts may help even a little, with lots of love x
