Spare a thought for my little cousin. her partner & their newly born angel

[Cocolove]

My little cousin was 27 weeks and 5 days pregnant with a precious pink down syndrome bundle she is 19 and had taken her baby girl having downs all in her stride she was prepared she was excited and she was ready to be a mum & her partner felt the same.

Tradgety struck thursday and their little girl was brought into this world friday afternoon.

Please spare a thought, light a candle if you can.

RIP Ruby.

Oh, goodness Up until that last sentence, I was holding out hope you'd just worded the title wrong and she was just very premmie

Have fun playing little Ruby, you were just too perfect for us here

[Sunny Love]

loving thoughts to the entire family for their loss right now.
the world needs more loving and understanding people like your cousin R-D.
thank you Ruby for showing your beautiful family special love.

I just dont know what to do what to say, do I send a welcome to the world card or a sympathy card, do I send flowers or a gift for mum?
Im so unsure I feel so helpless.

Thanks for everyones replies, They are so strong so wise beyond their 19 years so mature and Im so proud

from my experiences with friends, i gave the parents a 'congrats' card and wrote something special inside about their little one. i also gave them little baby gifts like i wouldve otherwise. my friends really appreciated that we had recognised and celebrated the birth of their child, instead of recognising its passing.
use your instinct and your heart hunni, they will know best.
hope it helps.

I am so sorry to hear this. What amazing parents they are and at such a young age. Just so sad that Ruby had to leave them too soon. Will definitely pray for them and little Ruby.


Big cuddles for you as well

Maybe find a lovely blank card with a teddy on it or a butterfly or something pretty and write your own words. maybe a poem if you are not sure of the words to write. You could get them a little gift for the baby. A little teddy or a special blanket with Ruby's name and maybe some angel wings on it or maybe a special candle for them and attach a little note explaining what it symbolises.

I would buy a blank card and write my own words.. Such as congrats on the birth of your baby girl and then offer symapthies.

most people won't acknowledge that they are parents now just people who lost a baby so a simple card or letter acknowledging that fact is important

on your family's loss..

So sad, am hoping your cousin finds the strength she needs to get through this... R.I.P little Ruby, may you fly free and watch over your mum and keep her safe!

[Miss.B]

I'm so sorry to hear of your cousin's loss, so devastating and heartbreaking. I'm sure little Ruby will always look over her mum and dad from above, with so much love in her heart. What a brave and beautiful lady your cousin is. I wish her much love and healing in the coming weeks, months and beyond. When I lost my little boy I never received a 'congratulations' card, it would have been so special to receive the acknowledgement that he was born. Stillborn but STILL born. I think you are just so special to want to acknowledge Ruby's birth, a little star was born into heaven, too beautiful for this earth. I hope your cousin can join the forums on belly, I have found so much solace, understanding, compassian and love here. It was so vital to my healing. I send you and your cousin and her family much love and many hugs, just being there for her is just so very important.

Big hugs,
Beata.

Thinking of your family, how devastating.

Fly free Ruby xo

She still birthed her princess, I would send a card of congratulations and acknowledgment, and offer your sympathies that Ruby couldn't stay with them.

[Inanna]

Oh I am so sorry to hear about Ruby's passing. May you dance in the stars beautiful girl & be cradled by the Angels.

I hope your cousin heals gradually from this sadness - what a very very sad and tragic loss for this courageous and strong woman. xxx

Thinking of you and so sorry to hear of a beautiful baby leaving far too soon.

I know she would appreciate all your words. Im going to introduce her to belly belly so she has someone to talk to who knows what she is going through

[Trillian]

I think the idea of an album that they can put all their special memories of her in is a lovely idea
