Bec - Congratulations on the birth of your precious little girl. I'm am so sorry Poppy couldn't stay. I'm glad you got lots of cuddles and photos. Those memories are precious.
I hope you have a lot of support and are recovering OK. If you need to chat, please PM me. The grief never leaves, but you do learn to manage it. The love and pride in our children sustains us when it seems impossible to carry on :hug:
I am so sorry to hear that your beautiful girl couldn't stay.
Be kind to yourself :hug:
I am so sorry Poppy could not stay with you.
Oh Bec. Since we'd messaged a couple of months ago I'd been thinking of you and wondering how your little girl was going.
I am so very sorry. It is surely little consolation but your beautiful Poppy is safe, remembered and loved, and will never know anything but her family's adoration.
My thoughts are with you and your family during what is such a hard time. Fly free little Poppy you have one amazing mum x
Bec Congratulations on the birth of precious Poppy. Words can't express how sorry I am that your beautiful princess couldn't stay. I am so sorry. What an absolutely beautiful name you called her.

but i truly believe that she will be with you in spirit forever watching you.

I feel great sadness for you and your DH.
Sending you love and strength during this time of enormous grief- I am soo sorry for your loss of Poppy Kate.
Thinking of you xx
I have followed some of your journey in the PAML thread (of which i also was a member) and wish you could have had the happy birth story you and your family deserved. So very sorry to hear that beautiful Poppy could not go home with you.
Bec, your words are so beautiful n caused so many tears. Darling poppy is blessed to have you as her mummy and poppy will always love you and know how much you fought for her.x my love to you all.
Bec - well done on bringing your little darling Poppy into this world and for being her mother from the very begining. I know she was much treasured and adored and loved, and will be for evermore. I am just so sad that she was too sick to stay. Fly free sweet angel girl.
Bec, for a while life will not be the same, so don't expect anything of yourself except to grieve. It takes every family on a different journey, this grief and bereavement caper. For now though let your tears bathe you and soothe you and be your link to your little Poppy. I always find that in a way the endless crying is actually easier than the next part. When the tears stop for just a little while in each day, what do you do with yourself? I never know the answer to that when I have had to face it. I hope that you have lots of support and love around you IRL. This is a very demanding and hard journey you and your family are on now. I will always be here to listen, no matter how many times you want to cry or scream or just know that you are not alone. I know what it's like to have to leave your babies behind, and to feel like you're never the one to bring a baby home. For now, though my sweet, go gently as you adjust to your new life as a bereaved parent.
GL with the funeral arrangements. Making you think about things you never want to think about. It's all so confronting and heartbreaking. I know whatever you decide you will honour your Poppy and your love for her will shine through.
You are stronger and more resilent than you know. You can get through this pain and heartache. You can and you will.
I just saw the notice in the paper and recognized the name :hug: I'm sorry you're going through this :(
Thinking of you and your family Bec xx
My heart is breaking for you Bec. I am so sad that you were not able to bring your precious and much-loved Poppy home to share your lives together. I wish you strength and love as you say goodbye to Poppy. :hug:
Thank you everyone for your thoughts and kind words. Some of you know how much it helps to know others care and know what we are going through.
Dory, thanks for your advice and support, as usual you worded it so perfectly.
Tomorrow is Poppy's funeral. I am terrified I wont be able to hold myself together at all, but I'm more terrified of what that will do to my DH and DS. I just need to get through. Good old 'Finding Nemo' will be my mantra "Just keep swimming, just keep swimming"...I will find the strength becasue I have to for my family.
Thanks so much again,
May your Chirstmas' be merry
Bec
Bec, my heart hurts for you. So does my throat with the tears. Poppy is so lucky to have a Mummy who loves her so very much. Xavier will help you to wake up every morning and keep functioning until you feel like it again. Give him lots of cuddles and soak in his love. I hope there is never ending support for you and your DH.
Poppy, you will always be a treasure to your family, I'm sure you will watch over them. Much love little girl.
Bec, thinking of you today. I know how hard it is to face the dawn of the day of your angel baby's funeral. But it is a great weight off your shoulders once there, and even more so once it's over. You don't have to be strong, you just have to be you. Your grief is what it is, and you will do what you need to. Be gentle with yourself, now more than ever.
Sweetie, thankyou for thinking of others in your time of need. I am not sure Christmas's ( or any other day in fact) will ever be merry, as there is always a part of you missing. But it does become less raw with time.
Fly free little Poppy. Sending you love to make it through what seems like an overwhelming day ahead.
Bec thinking of you and your family :hug:
Christmas will be hard, but we have a little boy at our house who still joyously awaits to dawn of Christmas Morning and Santa arriving, so we will be brave and merry on the outside at least. We are taking Poppy's presents to the wishing tree today to give them to someone who will get joy from them this year. It was Xavier's choice if he wanted to keep them on give them to a baby who might not get many presents, and he chose to give them to another baby. My brave little man, keeping us going, as always.
