2006

My lovely Mum died and later that year her home, where she'd lived for nearly 70 years, - my birthplace, was sold.

....But I have some happy memories which help alot.

Please dont delete Muffs, I think this thread is very cathartic, I lost babies too, 3 in 1998 and 1999. Its devestating,


Hugs to you and all on here who are in pain or have memories which are difficult. The best thing is, that we all care for each other,


Love to all,


Caz xxxxx

2006 when daughter was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma thought we were going to lose her, spent from Jan to Nov under its cloud.
Thankfully shes now in remission

Mine was 1997.

Got married.........very happy........ then.......OH got made redundant a month later.......new mortgage........money probs up to our necks........

summer time OH still not working......... his mum gets diagnosed with terminal cancer......... world came crashing down.

Decide to try for a baby in time for MIL to see him/her we thought we had 2 yrs.

October.......... MIL stable new baby on the way.

Dec........ MIL died suddenly......... lost baby 3 days later.

I have only very hazy memories of this now. The world sort of stopped for me for a year or so after.

I take comfort now in the fact that MIL has my babies to look after and love as she obviously needed them so badly.........once her hubby died 2 yrs later I stopped losing them (all bar one). I don't begrudge her them now but I did then.

Blimey.

Morbid for a Sunday night innit.

Shall I delete? xx
