Nov 2011 - Feathering our nests and buying baby vests

[PamSco]

Taking liberties again as there are only 5 posts to go on old thread. Hope everyone is well this morning!

So, so sorry, Chip
At a loss for words...
I wish I could...be there, do something, help in some way, I dunno.
warm wishes from Scandinavia xxxx

Oh Chip nothing I can say can even touch what you're going through. I am thinking of you and we're all here if you want to talk. Sending you virtual hugs but wishing I could give you a real hug right now. xxxx

Chip I'm so so sorry. It's hard to say much else than that. Take care all of you. Thinking about you all.

Oh Chip. I'm so so sorry. I can't think of anything to write except you and your family, and Sylvie Rose, are in my prayers. I hope you get the answers you need. X

So sorry Chip, I wish there was something we could do for you. Hope real life is taking good care of you and your family. x

Oh Chip that is such terrible news, I am so sorry to hear it. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.

That's heartbreaking news Chip, I can't imagine how you're feeling. No words can make you feel better at this time. Sending love to you and your family xxx

chip I'm so very sorry to hear your news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family through this horrible time.

Chip I am so so sorry to hear those horrible news. I wish there was something I could do, or say that would make your and your family's pain more bearable. Truth is, there isn't.
I hope that you have plenty of support in real life to get you through this traumatic time.

Sylvie-Rose's short life was full of very strong love for her. Such a little fighter.

My sincerest and deepest sympathies.

When you are ready to talk, or need someone to talk to, please do feel free at any time xx

Chip, I am so, so sorry. I cant stop crying and I never even met her. I'm just so sorry. I'm struggling to type myself here, and I doubt you will read this for a while, and I dont think there is anything anyone can say to you which can make this any less awful, but just please hang onto the fact that she was given so much love and that really, for a baby, thats all thats needed to make life complete. She didnt get what she deserved, none of you have, but in the time she was here, she got everything in the world. I'm just so so sorry. Its just awful and unfair and impossibly wrong.

Gosh it's just so sad, wish there was something more we could say or do.

Stunned. just you put it beautifully. Sending the chip family all of the love and thoughts in the world.

Sorry I haven't posted for ages...just been catching up.
Chip, I am so so sorry. Thinking of you and your family. Sending you big hugs and love x

Oh Chip, I know you will probably not read all of these, but my thoughts are with you and your family.

It's so sad and nothing I can say will make it better.

oh chip I'm sat here sobbing knowing what you are going through and what you are about to face. What an awful shock, and so bloody unfair. I don't understand why this could happen to such little ones, the world is upside down sometimes. I know there are absolutely no words that will ease your pain, so for now I will just send love, but please know I'm always here if you wanted to scream, rant and cry at someone who just knows. xxx

Some links for when/if you are ready and ever need support.

Both have been such a lifeline for me at times over the last 15 months.

Chip I have had a busy day, and have only just got onto the computer, thinking I was coming on here for a flippant sort of chat, to compare aches and pains, have a bit of a moan, a bit of a laugh, and when I read your post I was stunned. Needless to say, I won't be moaning about anything, as I am sure you would move heaven and earth to be in the position that most of the rest of us are in, with our (mostly minor) worries and pains.

I can't put anything into words nearly as beautifully as just has already done, but I want to add my name to the long list of people here who are thinking of you and your family right now. I can't imagine the pain you are all feeling, and I hope that you, your husband and your boys have lots of support in real life to get you through this awful time. x

Chip devastating news - there just are no words. Sending love to your & your family

Chip my thoughts are with you and your family. I am so sorry and sad for you. xxx

Chip i'm so very sorry to hear your news. I can't think of anything that comes close to what i'm thinking for you. You and your family will be in my prayers tonight. I really hope you're getting lots of support in rl.

It didn't feel right to put this in the same message, but last day went well, was suprised with a baby box which i wasn't expecting as hadn't been on the section for long.

Such sad news, there are no words.

Is there anything we can do for chipmonkey and her family? like sending some flowers, or something comforting?

Organising something would be lovely blue

When Belle died the August 2010 ladies organised a rose to be delivered to us. I've always been so touched by this gesture and the rose lives right next to our front door. The blooms in late spring were beautiful.

The rose arrived about 4 months after she died, which was perfect really, any sooner and I wouldn't have been able to deal with it. If we were to organise something lasting I would suggest sending a personalised card or something now and something special a little later.

I wondered this earlier too. Such a sad and heartbreaking time for chiP and her family.

There aren't words. This is the worst nightmare. To come so close to such well-deserved happiness after such a terrifyingly traumatic start, and all Sylvie-Rose and Chip's bravery these past few weeks for this. Cruel doesn't even come close.
