Southampton's tree of light switched on tonight

feeds@yuku.com (Zoe) — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 15:14:45 GMT

MEMORIES of lost loved ones will shine on tonight when Hampshire's first Tree of Light will be switched on.

Twinkling in the dark each of the 1,000 fairylights will represent someone close to your heart - and raise vital funds for local charity Communicare.

Hundreds of forms dedicating the lights on the tree sponsored by builders Crest Nicholson in Woolston's Millennium Gardens have rolled in since the Daily Echo launched the...

SANDS Petition

feeds@yuku.com (izzymoonsmummy) — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:20:17 GMT

Hi everyone, I came across this via a blog I follow. I'm not sure if its been mentioned here before but I was surprised to find it. It's a petition to change some of the wording in midwifery training that may be misinterpreted as not encouraging parents to hold or even see their stillborn baby or a baby after death. I know I treasure the memories I have of cuddles with Izzy after her death and for having time to imprint every inch of her on my heart and mind. I'd hate for other...

Its been 5 years, 4 months, 2 wks and 2 days since Tanesha was born. I love my little girl more than words can ever tell, but have been so filled with anger and un-answered questions this whole time, its been a plague in its own right tearing away at my heart.
I've talked about my feelings surounding this dreadful hospital before and as much as I have wanted to do something about it, the intense rage bursting to escape with this hospital has held me back.
I dont want to have...

Just For a moment

Our hands have touched, Our paths have crossed
A love is gained, A love is lost
Just for a moment I kissed the face
Of an innocent child I can't replace

Just for a moment a maternal touch
Would say the words that mean so much
A soft...

As I posted, around the 19th Nov (deleted by the looks of things?!) there seems to have been a problem with the phone. I have spoken to the lady that phoned MY mobile recently and she wants SANDS to phone her back as she phoned the SANDS phone 4 weeks ago. I am going to privately email her details to LISA, purely because I have Lisa's email address saved to my address book. I have PROMISED her someone will ring her in the next 2-3 days! I have also promised to visit her next week as she...

Can Southampton Sands Continue?

feeds@yuku.com (karenhenderson) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:59:24 GMT

Some of you may know that the AGM and volunteer meeting scheduled for 21st November was only attended by 4 people, we had some apologies, but the lack of volunteers coming forward to offer support to the volunteers and other parents means that it is likely that Southampton Sands will cease as a support group at some point next year.

It is lovely to think that people can get to the stage when they don't *need* Sands anymore, that their lives are full and busy and they have...

Who is around tonight? Did anyone see the Children in Need concert last week, I managed to record it and saw it yesterday. Gary Barlow dedicated a song to any lost loved ones, especially for his Dad, but it made me think about songs and whether we have a particular song that reminds us of our babies?

Moving day today :(

feeds@yuku.com (KeelansMummy) — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 19:44:59 GMT

Not really sure what to write now that I'm here. Today at 2pm Keelan's ashes were exhumed and re-buried in the local cemetery. I think i should be happy that he is finally at rest and we can have somewhere special to be together and I can now get his headstone sorted, but at the same time I feel so sad inside. I feel sad because I feel like I've let Keelan down by having him moved. I feel like I've let him down lots over the last 2 years. Today has made me question whether...

A Poem for Liam, Written with Berni's Tears

Another loss mum, Karen, wrote this for me in 2006. Karen lives in NY, I have met her several times now. She, too, had a son in 2000 - Benjamin. Benjamin Michael was born on 5th April and he died on 14th April 2000. He, too, was a beautiful beautiful baby boy.
