Newbie arriving...

I've just breathed a huge sigh at finding this thread; a great big chest filler. I haven't yet found the courage to read it through but knowing that you're all here is enough for now.

The short version of us:
Our firstborn dd died aged four, very suddenly and without warning in August 08. We eventually found that she was overwhelmed by a virus which caused her heart to fail (acute viral myocarditis).

When she died I was 7 weeks short of my due date with dd2. She was born 9 weeks later and thankfully thrives.

This is all part of an ongoing series of loss in our family. I swear, you'd think I was trolling if I listed it all!

Hi zeno - I'm so sorry to hear about your little dd1...I am also quite new on here and this thread has the most supportive, kind and wonderful people on it - it has helped me tremendously...
