Samcougar - I am so sincerely sorry for your heartbreaking loss

. It must be very hard to not only try and deal with your loss, but also to not be given a medical reason. You tell your story with great dignity and love. I also believe that butterfly crossed your path for a very special reason. Please take care of yourself xx

I am so very sorry for your loss. My heart breaks as I know the devastating effects of a baby born still.

Take care of yourself.

I'm so sorry SamCougar & totally devastated for you & your DH

Words can not express how sorry I am for the loss of your precious boy.
You're right, no mother should have to walk away empty handed after giving birth, it's just not right and so, so unfair.
May you rest in peace little angel.

My heart goes out to you and your DH on the tragic loss of your beautiful baby boy.
Take care, xx

Thankyou all so very much! It's comforting to know there are some wonderful people out there who really care!
Thankyou for all of your support and kind words. We will get through this and Riley will forever be in our hearts. We can only hope that this will never happen to anyone else but sadly it does, we never heard anything about stillbirths untill we lost our little Riley, but as we found out after it happened it has touched so many people close to us, they just don't talk about it untill something like this happens.
Our Riley will be talked about and remembered fondly because he's not just a sastistic, he our first son and always will be.
Thankyou all once again.
