This year has been the worst year. It started bad, very bad, had a good few.months then in september everything came crashing down around us 🙁
In november last year my hours got cut drastically and suddenly for the first time in 2 and a half years. I went from a 40hr week to 12 hrs per week in work. At the same time my other half got made redundant. We were no loger able to afford our rented property. On my 12 hrs alone there was no way we could save for deposit for new property in time. After christmas we were forced to move back on with my father while we attwmpted saving. In the new year my other half did manage to find a new job which helped. However around this time my father became abusive, controlling and violent. With still no decent money saved our only option was the streets or to stay. We stayed, but had to dive into.our savings when my father literally locked us out overnight in the snow we had last march 🙁 we wud stay at cheap as possible bnbs for a roof over our heads out of the cold. In may we finally managed to get out and rwnted a small but affordqble property. Shortly after, we found out we were expecting. We were so exited after a rocky start to the year things were starting to look up. We had r home, other half was in full time work. From may things were good, we were getting prepared.for our new arrival and getting on with happy life. Until september 6th 2013.
Without goong into major detail my waters broke while i.was at work. Rushed to hospital i had suffered a placental abruption and heamoraged. My baby girl was born at 9.01pm. She fell asleep forever in her daddys arms at 9.35pm. I was critically ill too, it was touch and go for a while. But i wish with every part of my soul i cud swap places with my baby angel.
Since then life is bleak. We had r daughters funeral but everything seems pointless. We so badly wanted r baby. All we do is sit and talk about her. Looking for things to blame but the truth is everyone did everything they possible could to save r tiny little lady. I was 27 weeks pregnant. That was almost 10weeks ago. Her due date is comin up. I dont no how we can sort r feelins or wat to do nxt. We r lost. Cant go thru her things and i still sleep holding her blanket that she had while in hospital.
Life sucks!!

I am so sorry for your loss. You’ll be in my prayers. I hope you have the space to stomp and scream and cry as needed. What’s her name? (If you don’t mind sharing).
With warmth,
MattNovember 14, 2013 at 1:18 am #45293KarinParticipantDear Kylie,
Of course you feel lost and I can totally imagine you don’t know how to sort your feelings. But it’s okay to feel sad. Like Matt says, to stomp and scream and cry as needed. Take your time. Write about it, talk about it, cry about it.
I wish you lots of strength and love,
Karinp.s. happy to read about you and your other half finding a home and getting back on your feet 🙂
November 14, 2013 at 3:03 am #45299kylieParticipantHer name is Harvie-lee 🙂 we like unusual names. She was 1lb 10 and asolutely perfect. Fully formed.perfect features. Tests show perfectly healthy little girl was literally the abruption caused lack of oxygen 🙁 heartbreaking! Everyone around is rushing around sorting xmas and we just stare blanklu like seriously wats the point, and im usually such Xmas baby, usually love it.
Thanks for replying guys 🙂 xx
November 14, 2013 at 6:15 am #45305MattParticipantKylie,
Harvie-lee is an unusual name, and pretty… good choice! Xmas? I can totally understand why that is meaningless right now… its like “ho ho ho? Don’t you know a cataclysm just happened?!?”
I’m grateful for the light Harvie-lee brought to the world in her short time with us, and for the strength of your love. Was she a kicker? Did she like to take naps on your bladder? 🙂 Kids can sure be mischevious!
With warmth,
MattNovember 14, 2013 at 8:09 am #45306kylieParticipantOh yes she was defo a kicker! I used to ‘ground’ her, sometimes it was out of control so i wud say ‘thats it, this child is grounded’ lol. Omg i miss those days, as for my bladder i think even the bathroom had had enough of my visits lol.
How r things for u? Hope not too tough xx
November 14, 2013 at 9:39 pm #45345MattParticipantKylie,
I am well, thanks for asking. The grief for my daughter (Aura) is a distant scar at this point, but its also 13 years later. The love is there, the sorrow is there… but its a small ache compared to the gratitude I feel for what she brought, what she helped awaken in me and her mother.
As for the life that is here and now for me, things are going really well. My love for everyone is growing, and as I connect to people I am continually inspired by their love, courage, tenacity and wisdom. Like yours! For instance, I know you see loss and pain, which I see too, and cry a little alongside you. But I also see an incredible mom and woman, who despite a tumultuous background has a heart that beats strong and true. How awesome is that! 🙂
With warmth,
MattNovember 15, 2013 at 1:08 pm #45370SarahParticipantKylie-
Your Harvie-Lee is a beautiful little girl – and you’ve shared her so bravely.
I wish you peace and quiet and love during the stillness that can be so awful during the holidays. You’re not alone: we’re all with you.
I am so sorry for your loss.
November 21, 2013 at 11:20 am #45607AlParticipantKylie,
I am sorry for your loss. I want you to imagine your little girl at an age where she understands the concept of death. I’m wholly positive that she would want you to continue to live for her and for yourself. I hope this helps.
November 25, 2013 at 1:52 am #45792HelenParticipantI’m so sorry for your loss. Life can plain out suck sometimes, and it seems that when we run into bad situations, some teach us things, yet sometimes things happen just because life sucks. Be glad that you have your other half, you two will get through this together, it just takes time. 🙂
