I know I shouldn't be putting this on here but I have looked at the bereavement forums on the internet and everybody is just as sad as I am and they just made me cry. This is the only site that I have engaged with before and I feel as if I know you all and that I can share my pain with.

My daughter died on the 9th November (Remerance Sunday), she did not wake up. She was 41 years old. She was perfectly healthy and the post mortem was inconclusive, we are now awaiting 'skin tests' which could take upto two months. She was so beautiful, she had long fair curly hair and the lovliest smile, everybody loved her. 130 people attended her funeral in her villiage church which is approx 200 miles from where we live, she had only moved away about six years ago. Me and my husband loved her so much as did her two big brothers and we miss her so much, it is unbearable.

She has three sons, two with her first husband ages 15 and 11 and the other with her second, age 4. They will be seperated, the eldest with their father and the little one with his. Fortunately, both are good men and between us we will make sure that the boys stay close albiet with different accents.

The pain is so great, I have been crying all the time I have been typing this but it has helped to write it down so don't think you have to respond. If you want to say a prayer for her, her name was Wendy. Thanks for reading and sorry to make you sad. Pat

Pat, there are no words which we can say to ease the pain and sorrow, I lost my little grandson suddenly to sudden infant death syndrome. there were never any answers to our questions because they didn't have any.
At least her sons will be with their fathers who will love and cherish them like their mum did, and have vital contact with their mums parents.
Life seems so cruel and unfair and we can never fathom out why, we just have to keep going on for us and the other people who we keep so dear in our hearts.

What can I say Pat nothing but your pain must be unbearable and its so easy to take life for granted and the sudden departure of your daughter is dreadful. You can only help with the passing of time that you will be able to see joy again in the rest of the family especially with your grandsons. Take care, we are all thinking of you.

Pat, Wendy's boys are the thing to focus on. Keep yourself busy by compiling a family history with lots of memories of Wendy and everything you can find about her ancestors. Do it for the lads, they need to know who their mum was and where she came from and you need to focus on something for her. To Wendy with love from all of us ancestor collectors

Pat, it says a lot about the sort of person Wendy was judging by how much she is loved and missed.
She's gone to a better place now, I like to think. As has been said, concentrate on your boys now! (Grandchildren).
