To clarify the JW mother who died leaving newborn twins....

[lissietothosefireworks]

Her family over-ruled her wishes. they authorised a transfusion, but she had haemorraged too badly by that point. she found a lot of strength from her faith and couldnt wait to become a mother.

it is a tragic story and i thank everyone who has passed their prayers and wishes onto her family.

good night Em x

How's your sister doing Lissie?

not well tbh. thanks for asking, its still sinking in tbh.

So sad for her family - what an awful time for them. Sending lots of positive wishes to them in the hope that they will find the strength to get through this.

lissie i htought this was what you were saying about last week when i heard it on the news yesterday. i take it she was a relation? Sorry if you have said this already.

lissie - my heartfelt sympathies

scorpio, she was my lil sis's friend. they worked together for years and they kept in touch when sis moved jobs. they were really close.

Thanks lissie. so sad.

such a sad story my thoughts are with the family

I know you were in two minds about whether to send some flowers to the family, but maybe your sister could do with them. Just to let her know you're there. It must be really hard for her, especially as she was obviously close, but not part of the family iyswim. She could probably do with the support too.

thank you all, its just the facts have been lost on the other thread amongst the debate.

thats a good idea mo. the family wanted "new baby" cards instead of sympathy cards...

lissie, nonametoday has asked some v interesting questions about this - if you can bear to return & have a look, x

ok, i shall pop over

want to make sure that people see this, so bump!

good wishes and prayers for all involved, Lissie. Completely, tragically heartbreaking.

Thanks for the real story, Lissie and condolences for the young mother's family (and your sister).

So tragic, and you are so right on the other thread when you say that no-one expects problems in their first labour (or epidurals/ventouse/C-Sections etc).

Thank you for clarifying the facts, it is all too easy for hysteria and sensationalism to kick in when we don't really know the truth.

so sad lissie

Pass my thoughts and love to your sister and the family

Lissie I am so very sorry- didn't feel I could respond to your thread the other night as I wasn't sure what news item you were referring to.

What a dreadful thing to happen

hoping those tiny babies will know how speacial there mom was hoping your sister gets all the support for supporting her friends family sending hugs to all in need of one

Sending thoughts and prayers to all involved in this sad outcome. No matter what we believe it is a terrible ending to something that should have been so joyous.

em

thank you all, just spoken to my sister and it was emma's funeral today that the press have published this today.
