So sorry for your friends loss :hug:

The Australian Community of Child Photographers has a huge list of photographers who are available to take photos of sweet little bubbas born still or very early micro prems :hug:
ACOCP NSW

This is about the ACOCP:

The Australian Community of Child Photographers (formerly known as the Australian Charity of Child Photographers) is a volunteer organisation of child photographers from all over Australia who have come together to form an organisation dedicated to giving the gift of photographic memories to families that have experienced stillbirths, premature and ill infants and children in the Neonatal Intensive Care Units of their local hospitals, as well as children with serious and terminal illnesses. The ACOCP is dedicated to providing this gift to families in a caring, compassionate and heartfelt manner.

I am so so sorry for your friends loss :hug:

Definitely go for ACOCP, they are there for this exact purpose.

*hug* to you & your friend :hug:

Thank you. I have contacted ACOCP.

I am glad you have found where you can call my love. Lots of love being sent to your friend. And also to you, this is a very very sad time for all her love your friend & it is especially so when you are nearing your birthing time. Take care of you sweetheart & you know where I am if you need to talk. :hug:

Yeah, the ACOCP does a fantastic job.

Other supports I can think of... The Teddy Love Club, Bonnie Babes, SIDS and Kids... Um... Ahh, there was heaps more that flashed through my mind as I read your post, and now I can't remember any!

Has the bubba been born? Maybe buy some little booties, mittens, or a hat s/he can wear, or for mum to take home. Ianto went through about three hats in varying sizes before we found one that (almost) fit, and I wish someone had bought him booties or socks that fit. I ended up taking his socks off because they were massive on him. Maybe get a little toy for bub to cuddle?

Also, to support your friend, don't offer help - just do it. I got sick of the amount of people saying "just tell me what I can do to help" - I was in such a state of shock (still am!) that I couldn't/can't think of anything they could do to help me out. I've just been going along with suggestions. If you need to ask if she needs help, offer specific things, not just general "help".

Thanks Teni for the suggestions.

Thanks Inanna again and always.

The Mum is a close friend of DH and I, and we are sitting here heartbroken. They only found out they have lost their bub this morning. Would love to just fly up and give them a big hug. DH just said he hopes there has been a mistake. It just sucks.

Kate

Let you heart break, cry and grieve but also know you have a job to do to bring your little one Earthside really soon. As heartbreaking and gutting as this is - this is her story & her journey. Yours is different.

Just know that there is support out there for you (I am always here to support any woman or man with grief). Also know that there is support for her. The list that Teni gave & I am trying to get time to compile one for BB so that women & men can access that help if they are our members.
If you give in time your friend a gentle nudge to join BB she can also gain much support from our members as well - sometimes this really helps in the middle of the night.

Do you know Kate if her little one is a boy or a girl? Does she have loving support in person?
Just know that I am sharing some of your sadness - it breaks my heart the journey she is on is a very very hard one. But do know as with all there will be some beauty as well - just now that is so hard to imagine... :hug:

Baby boy Thomas was born sleeping in the early hours of this morning.

Hugs Kate. Fly free baby Thomas. May your angel wings embrace your parents hearts.

oh Kate :hug:

:hug:Thinking of you and you friends xxoo

:crying: Fly free darling baby Thomas. Thinking of you and all the people who love you, especially your Mummy and Daddy. Sending them all my strength and warmth. :comfort:

Huge hugs to you Kate. :comfort: Thinking of you too.

Love,
Rachel.

Fly safely & freely baby Thomas - dance in the stars & send comfort to your Mama & Daddy & all of those that will be sad that you left so soon. :comfort:

I am thinking of you Kate - & I am here sending you love & comfort in this most distressing time. :hug:

I've only just found this thread. I am so very sorry & saddened for your friends over the loss of their precious angel Thomas :(
