This is a thread for anyone who has lost a child or been affected by the loss of a child no matter how big or small or how recent or long ago. We understand.

In memory of the light of my life, Lucia, and all of our little ones taken too soon. x

shabs Hope you are feeling a bit better this morning. The menapause is horrible but you will come through it eventually. I remember a few years ago I was talking to my neurologist (I have an auto immune condition which affects my eyes, it flares up every few years) and said to him 'apart from my eyes I am getting hot flushes all the time' he said 'oh poor you' I nearly floored him! I started a flare up 3 days before Richard died but it is getting better now, I have to take steroids which have side effects, puffy face being the worst, I think life is so unfair when everything happens at once. There I go rambling again. You are not an old bag never think that you are so supportive to us all. take care xx

frasersmummy · 10/07/2010 09:33

hey there.. remember me??

I havent been around because Ross is being really difficult at the moment. Everything is a major issue .. major meltdowns at every turn and I am not coping well with it

This is not the place to gripe about a boisterous opinionated 5 year old so I have just been lurking and thinking of you all

Sassy as the time rolls on - the acute anguish changes into a deep longing to see our precious children again. BUT the early raw feeling is atrocious. Stick with it my friend, we will all help you and you, in return, help us....you remind us how we felt in those early days...and , I personally, realise that I am getting there. Its a real double edged sword....I cant believe I am where I am now, and I feel for you and all the newly bereaved mums on here.

Your precious, precious girl may not be physically here but she is all around you at all times.....she loves you and you love her...that is a bond that cannot be broken xxx
