My beautiful Daughter died in her sleep

5 weeks ago we lost our beautiful girl Tia. She was mearly 4 months old and the sunshine of my life. Her eyes would light the sky at night, and now our baby girl is gone.

I will be haunted forever by my last glimpse of her beautiful face

I'm so sorry. My mum has just died and I am bereft. I can't imagine your pain.

tiamummy - another poster here who does not normally post on these threads, but your story has touched me so much that I just wanted to add my most deepest sympathies.

I cannot imagine what you and your dh are going through

Take comfort in all these messages - you may not know anyone here, but you are in a lot of peoples thoughts.

I am so very sorry Tiasmum

Tiasmum I am so sorry I will say a prayer for your little one.
Tia is a beautiful name

Tiamummy · 12/10/2008 15:31

You've all made me cry with your kindness

eandh · 12/10/2008 15:34

So sorry thinking of you and your beautiful little girl x

Tiamummy · 12/10/2008 23:37

Thank you eandh

So sad, my heart is crying out for you

StarfishandCoffee · 13/10/2008 09:58

I have been thinking about you and your loss a lot. I read the other day about an abused child who had a truly wretched life and death. I guess there is no comfort for you at the moment, but I was thinking that your daughter had such a little life but clearly so filled with love.

Your monstrous pain comes from the strength your love for her, so amidst the raw grief try to trust that your poor heart is still one which is capable of the most positive emotion in the world and one day that will begin to emerge again.

StarfishandCoffee thankyou

onepieceoflollipop · 13/10/2008 11:45

Tiamummy so sorry about your little girl.

I have no experience of this. I am always overwhelmed when I read the about the generosity of mners who have been through similar experiences and try and support each other through.

I hope you find a tiny bit of comfort and support from some of them.

TheMoistWorldOfSeptimusQuench · 13/10/2008 11:48

Tiasmummy, I am so sorry. Be kind to yourself. I'll be thinking of you and Tia. xxx

motherinferior · 13/10/2008 11:53

I am so very, very sorry for your loss.

MrsMattie · 13/10/2008 11:57

I am so sorry. How absolutely heartbreaking for you and your husband. There is nothing anyone can say to ease your pain. The loss of a child has got to be the worst thing anyone ever has to endure in this world. I hope you have family and friends close to look after you at this time.

MatBackFeck · 13/10/2008 12:02

I am so sorry, words can't say.

Elliegant · 13/10/2008 12:03

I am so very very sorry for your terrible loss. You will be in my thoughts.

lingle · 13/10/2008 12:04

MmeTussaudsChmberOfChocHobnobs · 13/10/2008 12:10

Tiasmummy, I am so sorry. Your daughter was lucky to have such a fabulous mummy. I will be thinking of you and your family.

francagoestohollywood · 13/10/2008 12:10

How devastating Tiamummy. I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious little girl.

Tiamummy · 13/10/2008 12:22

She was a beautiful baby, and we are totally lost without her
My heart and body both ache to have her back with us

FloriaTosca · 13/10/2008 12:27

Oh Tiasmummy! I am crying for you as I type. You are tragically living the nightmare we all are so terrified of...I'm so, so sorry. When you can, do try to join the thread for bereaved mummies, it hurts at first but it really helps to talk to those who have walked the dreadful path you are on and who understand your agony. Two years ago I lost my dd before she was even born and just reading through the bereaved mummies thread and knowing that I was not the only one, that I wasnt being punished in some way for some as yet undiscovered oversight, helped relieve some of the torment I was in and take the first steps towards learning to live with my loss...and also understanding my Dhs different way of coping with his....and coping with other peoples reactions and expectations of me. Thinking of you both...with deep sadness.

tatt · 13/10/2008 12:29

just saw this and had to say what a terrible thing to happen. I'm so sorry.
