Hi Bob, I do, sadly, remember your loss. I didn't realise though, that David was a twin. What a hard day, their birthdays will be for you. Full of mixed emotions. I know you'll cope though, we'll be thinking of you and your boys. Deepest regards, Debbie

Someone I knew was run over a few years ago when she was the same age as me. I didn't really know her but I thought it was quite sad. When I went to the funeral I felt so sorry for her parents' loss. Lucia

I think this is a good thread also I had a miscarriage he would have been 13yr end march but then I think he would have had same condition that my eldest boy has which would not have been fair and John who is 12yr would not have been here I can't change the past only look to the future

My son's best friend was killed in a motorcycle accident when he was 19, about 10 years ago. I blame myself because I motorcycle, my children and my wife ride, but why, oh why didn't I stop him before it was too late! I work next door to his mother and feel guilty every time I see her.

Brian you can't stop people from doing things it was just an accident just like we can't tell them how to live so please don't feel guilty

Brian you must not blame yourself for your sons friends accident it is what you say it was an accident! take care Dave

On Thursday, 7th April, it will be a year since 8 yr old Harley died of Cancer. His Mum, due to be married shortly afterward and heavily pregnant was so strong ... I cried for her. They knew that Harleys health was deteriating, but whilst and when he was strong enough, they brought him to school. The last time we saw him, my son was running along the pavement, racing Harley and his Mum in the car to the end of the road, as they had done since starting school together. I'd spoken to Harley's Mum on the way out of the school gates, as Harley raced past us ... I remarked how lovely it was to see Harley so lively and energetic!. She replied ... he goes into The Queens tomorrow for more Cemo, could Curtis come and visit ? it would really cheer Harley up. 'Of course' I said and then reportred to Curtis that we would go and visit during the Easter hols. We never got to the hospital .... Harley died 7th April 2004 aged 8 yrs. Harley's Mum keeps going for the sake of the Baby girl she gave birth to ... just 4 weeks after Harley died. I feel bad enough ... God knows if its your own. You just can't imagine. My heart goes out to all parents who have loved and lost children. Elaine xxxx ((((( HUGS))))))

My niece had two miscarriages. My brother-in-law died suddenly in his mid-40s. His father was distraught at the funeral. My sister-in-law lost her baby when nearly 9 months pregnant. Joy

I was born a twin. But she died shortly after she was born. So my parents have lost a child. I feel funny though. I never knew her really, but I still wonder. She's not even on my tree. She was never given a name. :-( I think it was too difficult for my mum.

Most people on here already know about Charlotte but for those that don't then I'll add my bit. Yes I lost a child, My Daughter Charlotte would now be almost 14 she was the 4th of my 6 children sadly though she was born with a heart defect and died because of it. I have also had my share of miscarriage's. My 3rd pregnancy was twins but I lost one. My 5th Pregancy was twins and I lost both. My 6th Pregnancy.... Twins again and again I lost one. My 7th Pregnancy ended in Miscarriage. My 9th Pregnancy (in January) ended in another miscarriage. So in my 9 pregnancies I concieved 12 babies, gave birth to 6 yet I only have 5..... I'm sending (((BIG HUGS))) out to everyone (mothers,fathers, aunts, uncles, brothers,sisters etc.) out there who has lost a child, whether that child was just concieved or was a fully grown adult.

cheers shaz, know how you feel, hugsxx

I can empathise totally with those who have lost children. I lost my only child, a daughter, when she was just 27 days old. She was born 13 weeks early, with Down syndrome. This was almost 2 years ago. My daughter was conceived after years of infertility treatment, and we now live with the knowledge that we may not be able to have another child. I can honestly say the pain never goes away, but it does become easier to live with over time. Sue

a friend of the familiy recently lost thier child to suicide. i have never seen anyone as numb with grief and i pray to god that i never experience that kind of loss myself. victoria XX
