There are no words or actions that will help with the pain that you are going through, but know that you are not alone in your grief. Use anyone and anything at your disposal to get through the next few hours, days and months, you are and will always be a mum of 6 beautiful children and nothing will ever change that. Xxx

I am so desperately sorry for your loss. Such a tragedy.

Please see your doctor. Your children need you but you need you too. Also, your dh should too. You are both so broken hearted you need support.

I'm so sorry op Flowers

Sudocreamface · 24/01/2017 09:26

How awful, absolutely awful, you poor soul, you will learn to cope eventually but it's important that you greave and are upset but also important to be happy too and carry on, not all within 10 minutes obviously, but at some point being happy again is important too. Maybe councilling could help you here abit. X

I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious little baby, how devastating for all of you.

I'm desperately heartbroken for your family. So so so sorry. Flowers

Flowers like many other pp, I have also lost a baby, she was my first. Your feelings are very typical and there are no rules on how you should be thinking and feeling. I visited my dd twice after she died. The final time was after her post mortem. As others have mentioned, you are able to bring Oakley home with you before the funeral.

Some great ideas above. Sands was a lifeline for me. They help families with neo-natal deaths 28 days past birth, but I know some local groups have been helpful with losses a little later than that. You can call the main helpline to get details of your local group.

I agree with cbuk as a great resource for siblings. Sands also have a sibling support leaflet online. It might be useful to just look around the site and see if it is helpful. Wishing you and your family peaceful days, I know it is difficult and the days and weeks ahead will be very challenging, but lots of us have walked this path and come out the 'other'side. You never ever forget your baby, and your lovely family has had a chance to meet him and create wonderful, albeit, fleeting memories. (((Xxxx)))

Feel so sad to read this.I lost a baby boy to he would be a teenager now. He died during the night also and I found him during the early hours of the morning .The shock is so horrible. I am thinking of you at this heart breaking time xx

clumsyduck · 24/01/2017 09:53

I'm so sorry for your loss , I can't even imagine how this feels , just know you have lots of people thinking of you and sending love and strength your way Flowers

Thinking of you and your family today. Wishing you calm amongst the heartache.

That feeling of needing to be with your baby over your other children is perfectly natural and happens to many of us. I think even though we know they are gone, we are driven to care for them still.

Eating can be hard in the early days, so just manage what you can, try not to feel guilty if you can't function, no one is expecting you too with the horror of what you are going through.

It gets easier, I promise. I am nearly 2 years (march) down the line. I have my sadness but I can function. I have found my new normal and I accept the sadness as part of my love which will never fade.

I wish I could take this pain away from you, the rawness and the shock it is so bloody hard. Here with a massive hand hold Flowers.

I will try to check in as often as I can so you know you are not alone if you want to post.
