    As a new grannie of healthy twin boys, I can't even begin to imagine what you and your family are going through. I'm sitting here with tears streaming down my face, as, why should my darling grandsons survive, and not yours?? All I can say is, be strong for each other and don't be afraid to let it all out, in whatever way is best for each of you. Could you plant a rose bush as a special remembrance, and watch it flourish? There is actually a beautiful rose I gave to a friend on the death of her mother called "Remembrance" and she says that each time she sees it in bloom, she thinks it's her mum coming to be with her. Take care of each other - I can't say anything that will help in any way, but I will be thinking of you. xx

    so sorry for your loss :( xx
  • So sorry to hear of your loss. My niece was born sleeping, 6 weeks after my daughter was born. It is so hard watching those you love suffering and not being able to do anything. As said above Sands was brilliant. They have an excellent website.

    Soo sorry for your loss. I do know the impact this can have on a family as my mum gave birth to a little angel who was born sleeping.

    theres got to be a reason
    why god does what he does,
    we remember thinking
    why did he pick us

    we were bitter, we were angry
    when he called your name,
    even tho some time has passed
    we'll never be the same.

    why couldn't he have waited
    that was our first thought,
    you were still so very young
    our time with you was short.

    he must have needed an angel
    and we've got to understand,
    thats why jesus came down
    and took your tiny hand.
    Will not be a fat bride...

    Makes me so sad to hear about babies born sleeping. The feeling of loss must be overwhelming.

    I would also reccomend SANDS for you all to get in touch with.
