Patricia,

why did you think you shouldn't post this on here? I'm so glad you did, and see what a response you've had.

You sound like a very loving mum and grandma. My mum lost her only son, Stephen in 1963, 7 days before his 3rd birthday. (I wish she could have talked to someone about it but at the time she couldn't/didn't.) There's no good time to lose a child, and they'll always be your baby.

The pain must be so so difficult to bear. I'm sure that Wendy will still be with you and will know that you love her and are keeping her boys safe and cared for.

I don't know what to say really, but I know we will be here for you and will do all we can (maybe only listening will be a help) to make such a difficult time a tiny bit more bearable.

Much love from

Maria xxx

Thanks, you have no idea how much support you have given me, I am so glad I posted my grief, I knew you wouldn't let me down.

Wendy was born (at home) just off the Old Kent Road in S.E.London. She was chuffed that the boxer Henry Cooper 'Chucked her Cheeks' outside the training pub 'The Thomas a Becketett' at the top of our road. She really was a darling and I loved her so much.

It's not fair you know, I have always smoked too much and drunk too much whisky, it should have been me. I feel so guilty. She was the youngest of my three children and my boys spoilt her something awful when she was young. She had the most beautiful nature and was really a lovely person. I don't know how to accept it.

Toby and Ben are staying with their step-dad until end on term and then they will go to their natural father in London and Archie will stay with his dad in Stafford. It does mean that we will see more of Toby and Ben and they love coming to our house bec ause they like my Nintendo and playing board games with Grandad. Between us all, we will keep this family together, we are all strong but how on earth do you accept losing a precious part of it.

I loved my baby so much and she loved me.

I feel a little bit guilty about burdening you all with all this I had nowhere else to go. Thankyou for all your help and suppiort,

Mary

All your family have suffered a devastating loss and I can only say a heartfelt sorry, inadequate though it is. I will pray for you all and light a candle for you and Wendy in church on Sunday. You will need every bit of your strength for the boys.

Bless you, Patricia, in this your worst of times xxx

So sorry Pat, your pain must be hard to bare.

My thoughts are with you and your family, give your grandsons a big hug, your lovely daughter lives on, in them.

Love and many hugs.

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).

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

What a terrible, terrible time for you all.

To lose a child whatever age must be devastating.
