Loss of our son aged 27

Dear Helen,
Yes my girls always do the card from them and Matt and draw a little picture in it that he used to put in his cards :heart: the photo was one they did in the back of the car when we were off for a family meal, its the last one I have of the three of them together, it looks lovely on a canvas and is somewhere I can see it all the time :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: take care much love to you :heart:

Hi everyone
A few weeks before Scott became ill he was asked by his boss to show Rishi Sunak what he did at work, his photo was in all the papers. I knew there was a video of the whole meeting but I’ve struggled to find it until tonight. Seeing him in his work clothes, hearing his voice and seeing him laugh has been really difficult tonight, its 3am and im still up crying. We had laughed so much about this at the time as he was a bit embarrassed about it all, He seemed so fit and healthy but before the end of that month he was having open heart surgery and then our lives would both be changed forever. How can he be gone? How can any any of our beautiful children be gone?

Dear Anne,
I am so sorry its absolutely heartbreaking :broken_heart: it must seem surreal to see him looking well and thinking back to when you all watched it, it just seems like a nightmare that you can never wake up from, you must be so proud of Scott and he will be proud of you and how well you have been doing staying strong for your other son but some days the grief just engulfs you, sending you all my love take care :heart:
Love Michelle xxx

Thank you Michelle
I never slept all night, my mind wouldn’t rest.
Thank you for your kind words

Dear Anne, these memories do trip us up sometimes when we least expect it. I’m so sorry. Just so sad that we are here without our children and I find sometimes that the memories don’t help us. I hope you cope with the day. Big hugs to you xxx

It’s so hard Roby. I have a video of Lisa and Brooke on a merry go round before Christmas 2018 in Edinburgh. Jamie’s Dad and his wife were over from Texas. Lisa looks so healthy and happy. I watch it over and over just to hear her voice.
With love, Kate

Dear all dear friends. I forgot to tell you all about the strangest thing that has happened.
On Saturday night when we were putting Brooke to bed she went to the book case on the landing which has childrens books there. They were our girls books when they were little. No bear in mind that I dust this regularly and I am familiar with ths books here. So, Brooke got a book and took it to her bed. It’s a beautiful book about a rainbow and as you turn the pages coloured ribbons appear until the last page where the rainbow is complete. Now this is a brand new book. None of us has ever seen it before , it literally just appeared!
What do you all think? Has her Mummy sent it?
Very weird though.

Dear Kate
Strange things have been happening to me also. I’m sure that your daughter put the book there. A couple of weeks ago I went over to my sideboard to light my daughters candles and sitting in front of her budda was a 1p I said to Charlotte who was sitting on the sofa, did she put it there. She hadn’t seen it and it definitely wasn’t there that morning. I don’t ever have any change in the house as always use my card. When we looked at it closely it was made in 1980, the year Kathryn was born! I know that she put it there. I have experienced other things too. I have been waking up and seeing things too. Shapes in my room, woodland animals from the film snow White and the 7 dwarves which my daughter loved when she was little. I thought that I was maybe still asleep but I drank a glass of water and could still see them. Its happened twice. Am I going mad!

No you are not going mad at all. I have the book here with me now and it definitely wasn’t on the bookcase before. As I said it’s brand new. Lisa loved rainbows and so does Brooke.
Then yesterday morning I was walking the dogs at the edge of the forest and a Robin appeared on the path in front of me. It just kept with me most of the first part of the walk. It was odd because I have never seen a robin up there.
With love to you, Kate xxx

I am sure they are. I asked Alan, my husband again yesterday if it had been in a box of stuff from the auction mart as he is or was a regular there and often bought something which ended up being part of a box of stuff. He said it definitely hadnt come from there and again he said he had never seen it before.
It does give me a warm feeling when I look at it.
Kate, lots of love.xxx

Hi Anne
I am sure that its our children letting us know that they are still with us. I also speak go Kathryn all the time and have asked her to send me signs. I have just read a book called Signs by Laura Lynne Jackson. The experiences are incredible. My daughter definitely came through when I spoke to the medium. She said things that only myself and my 2 daughters knew. It gives me some comfort to know that she is around me.
Love Deborah xx

Dear all,
I love to hear of all your signs … it really does give me such a warm feeling. I have had signs in the past but not for a long time. But when I was driving home from work yesterday there was the most beautiful sunset and as I looked it I felt very strongly and just knew that I would see Gemma again and that she was still around somehow. But I would so love to have some more signs from her xxx

Dear Victoria and all of you here who are listening.
I am watching Celebrity Bake Off, for Cancer. It’s quite funny really but tears are streaming as I thought about Lisa saying that if she had cancer she would have a chance. It’s so horrible to think she lived her last few years with her baby girl with the hope that there would be some breakthrough with a cure for rare lung disease. It breaks my heart.
