So beautiful.

Im so very sorry he couldn't stay. Im so sorry for this terrible pain you and your husband are in. You honoured your beautiful Leo by giving him such a dignified birth. You should be very proud of yourselves.

I wish I could take away your pain right now, but I know I never could. Leo, a precious angel too beautiful for this world.

I am so so sorry to hear of the death of your lovely Leo. He sounds like a right trooper!
You did an amazing job of birthing him and sticking to your guns throughout.
I lost my daughter Ellen at full term on 13.1.10. I have yet to be brave enough to tell the full story as you have.
Hopefully Ellen will be up there playing with a new angel friend Leo.
I have written a lot of poems since she died and have also had very wonderful support from Sids and Kids.
They are easy to contact and I highly recommend you get in touch for some support from them.
I wrote the following poem. Hopefully it might sing to you at this sad time.

Another baby died today
He grew new wings and flew away
He left his mummy and his dad
They’re crying now they feel so sad

They can’t see why their baby left
Why he had to leave them so bereft
There is no real reason why
They will just spend time to cry and cry

He’ll leave them memories I’m sure
But mum and dad wanted something more
They wanted his life with them forever
Not a grave to visit in any weather

They wanted more, they held tight to his life
This world gave them all just too much strife
They wanted shared joy with him everyday
Not this sudden end to his childhood days

They planned for him to grow into a man
With love and caring they’d have helped him to plan
They wanted to share his life as he grew
They’d have loved to meet the friends he knew

They now have to live with the questions of grief
Perhaps in time they’ll find some relief
From the questions of why such a tragedy happens
From the sadness of loss of a death in this fashion

There is no good reason for loss of this sort
No people to blame no joy from this thought
No baby should ever not live in his family home
No child should die and leave their parents alone

The only thing that can come from this great grief
Is that those that are left need to have the belief
That they knew a real angel who had to move on
They’ll have the love in their hearts for him all their lives long

You will be in my thoughts
Kate

Your darling Leo chose such strong and beautiful parents to give him such a loving and dignified birth, life and farewell. I wish so much that he could have stayed here with you.

Fly free Leo.

Rachel.

I can't make sense.

All I can say is thank you for sharing about Leo and about you and your DH through all of this.

I just can't help but think that he would be so proud of you. So proud that you understood his gift and appreciated what he could offer to you in his short time. It still doesn't make it right though.

Beautifully written Tashybabe. x
