Death of a young child - anyone in the same situation?

[Galmum]

Has anyone out there recently lost a young child?? My 3 year old gorgeous son died in June of a childhood cancer - 2 years after he was diagnosed. Both dh and I are finding life tough at the moment. We're continuing to live life and do the best we can. I was 8 weeks pregnant when he died and so far everything is okay with the baby (I'm now 24 weeks).

Samandj - I am so so sorry. Thinking of you and your family. She will always be your firstborn and precious daughter.

When my little boy was diagnosed with a type of childhood cancer that maybe 8-10 kids get diagnosed with a year in the UK, I just could n't believe it had happened to him. During his treatment, I have come to terms with the fact that it's nothing personal, that these things happen to someone and unfortunately for all of us who have lost children or had kids diagnosed with a life limiting condition, it happened to us.

I've had a better few days - it's helped to hear from Mum's in the same situation - I hope it helps you a little too. xx

Hello,
I just wanted to post to say how sorry i am that you have lost your precious children. My ds2 was diagnosed with a very rare condition when he was a few weeks old. He is very ill and we have been told that he has a short life expectancy, he is 3 now and we are enjoying everyday we have with him. He is blind, quadriplegic, unable to eat and drink and has 150+ seizures per day, his develoment stopped at about 12wks old. I know this isnt the same as your situation, i just wanted to share it with you.
God bless and take care

like many others, I could not pass this by without my thoughts going out to you all. I am sitting here in floods of tears and am so sad. It makes you realise. A family friend lost their ds at 2 days old in the summer and it makes you think. Thinking of you all...x

I have no idea what you are going through, couldn't read and not post though.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Also couldn't pass by this thread without saying how sorry I am Galmum, sarahx, amyjade and SamandJ.

My heart is breaking for you all

Cannot imagine what you are going through, my DS is 4 and cannot imagine how I would cope without him in my life. My heart really does go out to you all.

So sorry, not sure what else to say but are thinking of you.

Oh Sarah have just looked at your website so lovely yet so sad - what a gorgeous little boy he was

The picture of your daughter in the paper is wonderful too - what a courageous family you all are xxxxx
