anyone who remembers my thread bout whether or not to write to my son's teacher who had a miscarriage.....

[BBBee]

(she had a mid-term miscarriage - I have had one too and know how lonley and horrible it can be and also as it is rare hard to talk to people who have had one. I agonsied about the suitability of a card.)

One of the mums in the class organised a card and so I didn;t have to write sperately.

I just put:

"I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I, like you, also lost a son at 20 weeks gestation, this was 11 months before DS was born. I know how dark things can seem and I also know how healing time can be. You are in my thoughts every day. Yours, BBBee"

and I got a letter from her today saying:

"Dear BBBee,
I just wanted to write and thank you for your mesage. It arrived at a time when we both really needed it - thank you for sharing something so personal to help us."

So thanks everyone for the help and advice - you helped me do that.

Well done BBBee

I read your thread, well done i am sure she really appriciated it

oh well done you

I remember your thread, but I didn't post on it. I'm sure she really got some strength from it.

Oh, well done, that was a lovely thing to do.

That's lovely, I'm sure it meant a lot to her. Feeling weepy now, so will leave this thread.

I've experienced the same end to a pregnancy BBBee, and I know how horribly lonely and freakish you can feel Am so glad you wrote that on her card and that it helped her at such a grim time XXX

bump for boco

Oh Bee that's lovely. So glad you wrote it and that it helped her. Well done xx
