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

Tiamummy
I am so sorry for your loss. It is the hardest thing to lose a child. You never imagine it could happen to you. You hope it doesn't happen to others but you are aware it does. When it does happen you feel like the world has stopped turning. People carry on with their lives and mundane things still happen and all you want to do is shout "STOP do you not know my baby has died".

I can say from my limited experience it does not get easier but you get better at coping. The things we expect such as anniversaries particularly the firts, are hard.

It is the unexpected that knock you though and this we can not control. I lost one of my identical twin boys and I recently completely lost it after an aquaintance had twins. Lots of people have twins, I chat to people on here with twins but hearing that news almost took my breath away.

You may not feel like it now but you will cope and each day you will move forward, you will never forget Tia and the memory of her lovely smile will stay in your heart forever. That little grip of her finger will squeeze forever. She is still with you but is not physically here. Her little life was a happy one full of love, and you should cherish this memory.

I am so sorry and do not know if this will help or not but I am sending you much love and compassion.

Please take care of yourself and don't worry, whatever you are feeling is normal. The only thing is my HV did offer me some advice about grieving

When parents lose a child it is like getting two people who are ill and expecting them to look after each other. It is very difficult and you do have to look after yourself and each other.

I'm sorry I am rambling take care love CM xxx

and said and remember

Tiamummy · 15/10/2008 22:27

charleymouse thankyou , we are trying to look after eachother as best as we can right now, but i hear you.

LOVEMYMUM · 16/10/2008 23:40

I don't know what to say.
Please know that you are not alone.

LOVEMYMUM · 16/10/2008 23:42

Izzymonster · 16/10/2008 23:56

Tiasmummy, I am so so sorry about the loss of your beautiful baby girl . I can't imagine the pain and heartache you must be feeling. Lots of love to you and your DH. Take care of yourself xx

Tiasmum, I saw this the other day but didn't post - any words just seem so inadequate. But I can't stop thinking about what you must be going through - I am so sorry. If there was anything I could do to take away your pain for just one second I promise you I would do it, I hope that doesn't sound melodramatic but it's true.

My thoughts are with you xxx

tstar · 18/10/2008 07:42
