Thats awful and such a huge betrayal of your trust. I just can’t believe that they didn’t share the statement about your own baby with you before hand. This is such a personal and sensitive issue and they must realise that people’s feelings are at risk here. Unbelievably disrespectful and I don’t blame you for being wary. Good luck with your campaign and fingers crossed this doesn’t happen again.
Laura xThank you so much for organising such a beautiful event. It means so much and it’s so nice to know that people care and want to support.
Thanks again to all a Children and Butterflies.
Laura xHi,
I am so sorry that you have lost your beautiful girl. We lost Eva at 24 weeks on May 7th 2012 and the pain is still very raw. You will find yourself in a world you never knew about, one which is both the saddest place to be as well as most supported. Take as much support as you can as it really will make a difference. I still go for counselling now and find talking to someone outside of the situation is very helpful. I find this forum very helpful as well as those little things which will give you some memories to hold on to. You will find that the things you used to take for granted e.g. Talking to new people or going to the shops suddenly become the hardest thing in the world.
Be kind to yourself
Laura , Eva’s mummy xIt’s our first Christmas and am struggling with it all as everything is buzzing around us but I am just so sad inside. I just want it over with and 2013 to begin. I’m a teacher and know I won’t be able to cope with the nativity plays etc. all very hard but just have to wear a false smile. Reading your posts help so thank you so much – you’re a support without even knowing it. Wishing you and your butterflies love this Christmas Laura x
Thank you Max and Sarah. Your supportive comments are very comforting. I’m now off work for 6 weeks as I’m a teacher so I can hopefully just focus on getting to Eva’s due date and take each day at a time. I’m sorry for your losses too and hope our butterflies are together in the sunshine. Thank you again x
Thank you so much. It was so special and we really appreciate you organising such a lovely event. Fly high little butterflies. Laura x
Thank you for the update. It was meant to rain for our school sports day today and the sun shone so we have our fingers crossed that the same thing will happen on Sunday!
See you then,
Laura xHi Michelle,
Its so good that you’re able to speak our and represent so many women and their butterfly children. I feel really strongly that if a woman has given birth then their baby should have a birth certificate. It says it all really and is a ‘certificate of birth’. Our daughter was born and will always be our first baby. I feel very sad that we don’t have her birth certificate. The decision would be very different if it was a woman who had lost a baby making this decision. They should ask for votes on forums such as this in order to gain the opinions of people who have actually delivered. It wouldn’t change things for us but could for future butterflies.
Good luck!
Laura x
