    Razzberry, I rarely come on bellybelly anymore, but have been checking it the last few days to see if there was anymore news. I am so so sorry, big hugs to you and your family.

    Razzberry ~ My heart is breaking for you. I send you and your family the biggest of loving hugs to try and help you through this.
    I've had to do this 3 times now with my DS. I was honest, and even when he was young, I explained to him that our Babies weren't able to stay in Mummies tummy any longer, and that their spirit was needed for other babies. We aren't religious, but it helped my son to believe there was a higher power that they were needed with.

    I let him cry, I let him throw tantrums and I let him be angry at me for not "keeping his babies safe".

    I let him write a letter and bought him a teddy in memory of each little baby.

    He still has the first bear from 1998.

    There is no way to make this easy for your young children. Just be there for them, and grieve with them, and most of all, be kind to yourself.

    Love & Light
