Her 18 month old DD drowned in the bath yesterday after she left her alone for a few moments. God knows how that poor woman is every going to pick herself up from this. Can't begin to imagine her pain

It is the only way , have you seen her at all ? Or do you not know her well enough ?

Sad
whywhywhydelilah · 30/04/2010 19:04

This is so sad I have tears in my eyes. I will be thinking of her and her family.

mrstimlovejoy · 30/04/2010 19:05

gosh what a awful thing to happen my thoughts are with you and your neighbour x

wrinklyraisin · 30/04/2010 19:10

How very, very sad especially as it was preventable. I hope the mother gets plenty of love and support for herself as she will no doubt blame herself every second of every day to come

memoo · 30/04/2010 22:51

I don't feel like I know her well enough to go round. We have only ever had brief chats in the street, mostly about our babies

I don't think she is at home anyway.

God I don't even know wether to send a card or flowers, it seems so trite

Oh dear God, that's awful That poor, poor family.

Pancakeflipper · 30/04/2010 23:28

Do send her a card, even if it is just saying how you loved those red curls. It's a little thing that keeps people functioning and that people are kind.

Been wondering how you've been Meemoo, was on another thread of yours. Be kind to yourself. This must be a huge shock for you and it can set your mind into a whirl.

travellingwilbury · 01/05/2010 11:11

memoo , I agree with Pancake , please send her a card and try and mention something personal about her little girl . She will have those cards for a very long time .
I personally wouldn't send flowers , after my son died a few people sent flowers and tbh they were just too bloody cheery to have in the house .

If you really do want to give her something to show you care then maybe some food for her freezer when she gets back home .
Be kind to yourself too . It is such a horrible shock to hear of something like this .

cocolepew · 01/05/2010 11:14

How awful, I hope you're ok memoo.
