Wanna know what I was doing on 18th December 2020?

I was waking up from general anaesthetic having had surgery to remove my baby from me who's heart had stopped beating.

Alone.

The only comfort I had was a wonderful nurse and a t shirt of DH's to cuddle.

Don't really know why I'm starting this thread. I wish I hadn't worked out why that date meant something to me when I heard it.

Fuck this government. Fuck it all.

Thanks I'm so sorry for your loss.

Fuck Boris and his conservative liars!

My condolences. Flowers

The government are disgrace.

Sorry pressed post to soon. What a fucking mess that the people who are supposed to be leading us a) were stupid and irresponsible to hold a party and b) are even more stupid and insensitive that they think it's funny.

I know there will be many many others who went through much worse, again, alone.

I just had a sudden realisation when I heard the date. I knew the year anniversary of my 21 week scan when we found out but not the actual surgery date.

DH packed me a bag and I cried as he dropped me off and drove off. I remember waking up to the sound of another woman crying in the bed next to me.

But it's OK cos they had cheese and biscuits 👌

For you who was alone Thanks
And for your DH who I'm sure was desperate to be there to comfort you Thanks

They're all cunts, fuck them.

weddingpanicomicron · 08/12/2021 20:41

I'm so so sorry. They are genuinely horrible people.

AppleJane · 08/12/2021 20:42

That made me cry. I'm so sorry Thanks couldn't agree more. Fuck 'em.

Tomthumbsbigbum · 08/12/2021 20:42

How utterly heartbreaking. I'm so very sorry you had to face that experience alone.

Their actions are absolutely appalling.

hemhem · 08/12/2021 20:43

I'm so sorry for your loss. You have absolutely every right to feel totally let down and disgusted with the complete shitshow of a government. But more importantly you sound like you still need time to grieve and find healing. I hope you and your husband can eventually find that.

Everyone in government can fuck right off though.

flimflammingo · 08/12/2021 20:45

I am so bloody sorry.

CSJobseeker · 08/12/2021 20:45

Oh OP I am so sorry for your loss.
These fuckers mock the sacrifices and bereavements most of us have undergone. There isn’t a word in the English language which goes far enough to express how I feel.

prynaithda21 · 08/12/2021 21:02

Sorry for your loss.

fedup65356 · 08/12/2021 21:04

So sorry. There are no words Flowers

MrFlippersPancake · 08/12/2021 21:13

My goodness, I am so so sorry. There are no words ❤️

ACovidofWitches · 08/12/2021 21:14

I'm so sorry you had to go through that alone. You shouldn't have had to. Your DH shouldn't have had to either.

Largethighsbadeyes · 08/12/2021 21:16

Jesus that's horrible OP. So sorry Flowers

Also Flowers for everyone else who missed out on a family members last Christmas because they followed the rules when the people who put those rules in place thought it was funny to break them.

No swear words bad enough but I can think of a few that come close

ssd · 08/12/2021 21:17

Im so sorry. And you're right, fuck them.

Strangevipers · 08/12/2021 21:20

Greenhand · 08/12/2021 21:25

There truly are no words. The experience in itself is bad enough but unbearable that you had to do it alone.
Finding out what the delightful Gov were doing is more than a kick in the teeth, it's disgusting. So many followed the rules and made sacrifices while the few partied
