What dreadfully sad news Linz. For my part I think there is no better care than the love of two dedicated parents who did all they could to keep this little girl in this world - willing her to fight on with their love and all that was in them and the equally dedicated medical staff who worked so hard to help her stay. Sadly she was not meant to stay any longer and for some reason all the love and care in the world could not keep her here. Go fly Baby Florrie - away from the pain and sadness of this world, knowing that you too touched this world with love x
 
There are no words really are there Linz. My thoughts are with the family today x
 
Am sitting here in tears at such sad news, Linz, but I can only echo Gem's lovely post.

Litte Florie sounds like she was a real battler, but some fights are just too big even for such a tough little spirit as her. I hope their faith gives them comfort in what will be a bleak time ahead.

Dearest Linz, so sorry to hear this sad news and in tears. My thoughts go out to all the family and friends impacted
Huge ((hugs))

Morning Linz, I'm so sad to read that post, welcome to the summerlands baby Florrie.
 
Welling up here Linz, that is such awful news, sounds like they have a good strong faith that hopefully will help them through. So very sad.

Such a weird emotional day today... but good news too as my Dad has been given the all clear again today at his 9 month post chemo appointment!

Keep doing my packing in fits & starts today, feels odd carrying on & preparing for our family holiday while we have friends in pieces at the loss in their family.

Thank you all so much for your kind words for Beth & Sam... they'll be very touched.

When they're daughter Martha then Elsie were born I had commissioned some beautiful wooden hearts for them with their names on, Martha's orange, Elsie pink & I had ordered one for Florie in red with welcome to the world on the back of it to be sent directly to them in Yorkshire.... I emailed the designer this morning (more to explain the situation & ask if it could be sent here so they wouldn't have to open it) & asked if I could get another one done as I still felt it right for Florie to have one. This lovely lady said she wouldn't send out the red heart but would do a completely new one & suggested creams, whites & muted tones of the girls ones instead, she is not charging me for this new heart & it will have Florie's name on the front but on the back it will say... A special heart for a special girl. She was very emotional about it & said that this will be a heart like no other she will never recreate one like it.... she said she' already feeling very emotional about making this one.

Its amazing how people touch your lives & this lady has been a weird part of mine, making hearts/stars for newborns & christenings for me & now this one. I will never ever really be able to thank her properly for it... she has promised to email me the finished image as it will go direct to Beth & Sam's. They have always loved the girls hearts & I think this one will be a precious one to them too. x
 
So so sorry to read your updates. The wooden hearts sound such a beautiful and thoughtful idea - the lady that makes them sounds lovely too. Thinking of Florie's family and friends x
 
So kind of the lady with who makes the hearts, I never cease to be pleasantly surprised by the kindness of people.

My thoughts are with your friends, and with you Linz-you are touched by this sad loss too
 
I can't tell you how devastating it is to read such news, even though we've never met the family we just shudder to think of it happening in our own families and pray that it never does.

As time goes by it'll become clear why this little one was never meant to stay on this earth. I'm sure the parents have been put in touch with SANDS who will do everything they can to give them support.

I remember years ago (due to my work) being invited to the opening of a babies memorial garden, there was a harp playing. I remember it so clearly, it was a Sunday afternoon. This garden was for the parents to have somewhere to remember their babies that either didn't make it into the world or died shortly after.

I read a plaque that said 'tread gently for our whole world lies here' I'll never forget it.

It's one of the reasons I did the job that I did. To give comfort to the bereaved when they need it the most. Those baby funerals broke my heart every time.

I would often see the parents and they'd tell me the stories about how they'd lost their babies. One lady visited her sons grave every Sunday (and had done for 30 years). She said she'd heard furniture moving in the baby's room and was convinced it was when the angels came for him.

That sweet little girl will be with the angels and she will blossom in heaven. I've asked my Mum and Dad to look out for her and give her a special hug if they can. God bless her soul.

Thats so beautiful Hope.... thank you for sharing. xx

I have just had the priviledge of kissing all of my children goodnight as I put them to bed & then came down to this amazing mesage from my beautiful friend! I'm in total awe of her right now. x

Wow! What amazing friends we have. Upheld throughout this day by you all, a collective arm of love.
For the first time today I find myself alone.. Needing time to express milk which I have for my baby which I can't feed. How I feel right now is something very hard to express... But I want to try. I feel loved. I feel lost. Lonely but surrounded. Robbed but peaceful. A deep pain physical and emotional which at times feels like it could stop my breath. Joy for my three amazing girls. I am a mother of three... I am just so sad that most of you never got to meet our third and treasured little bean.
I was sent something today which I have found really amazing... Get the tissues out ladies... I will post it after this message.

For planning and practical reasons we would value having some idea who would like to come along to a celebration for Florie briah next sat here at our house. We are thinking about an afternoon into evening service and celebration from mid arvo with big Cosy kata tents(same as our wedding) food and fires. Space to camp over.. If you wanted to stay. A few rooms can be offered locally too... We would love as many of you to come as you felt able. In the same breath we are aware holidays are booked and work is busy and this date or travel might not be possible... And we equally want you to feel a real freedom to be with us in love and share in this from where you are.
If you DO plan to come for the day or night or weekend - please can you email me at .*** with a simple yes and how many and if you want to camp it.
Thanks for who you are for us at this time. x
