It's been a tough year so far and my will has been tested to the MAX!

My friend Lindsay who is the same age as me (29) was pregnant with twins after her and her hubby Jimmy had been trying for a baby for 4 years after losing one just after they got married. The twins were due in Feb and everyone was so excited for them. She went into hospital to be induced on 20th Jan 09 and had the babies by c-section on 21st Jan. A boy (Freddie) and a girl (Gracie), both perfect were born and the excitement was hard to contain! But unfortunately Lindsay fell ill 4 days after their birth and was taken into intensive care with pneumonia and was put on a ventilator and sedated. She had a fungal infection which attacked her respiratory system over the next week and caused her lungs to fail. She was transfered to the Royal Brompton Heart and Lung hospital in Chelsea a week and a half after going into intensive care. The fungal infection developed into an invasive infection and attacked her organs and went to her brain. It became a flesh and organ eating infection and sadly on 9th Feb, Lindsay lost her fight and passed away, leaving Jim a widower and their 2 precious new babies without a mummy, a mummy who had wanted them for so long and only got to be with them for 4 days of their lives.

The 3 weeks that Lins was critically ill were very hard to deal with, waiting for the phone to text or ring was an extremely anxious time and I turned to food to help me through. Not graizing constantly but I bought comfort foods for when I did eat. After her death was much the same and I'll admit that I didnt eat healthily at all for a good 2 weeks after either. Her funeral wasn't for 4 weeks after her death so it was a long wait to say goodbye. Her funeral was 3 weeks ago. I am getting back on track now and I am pleased to announce that Freddie and Gracie are absolutely thriving and are the most beautiful babies I have ever seen! I know that Lindsay, my beautiful friend will live on in both of them!

gina im sorry to hear about the sad loss of your friend lindsay, she will live on through her babies, now that support is needed to bring them up, she would want that focus on her to wonderfull children, she will watch over them as they grow, i beleieve in spirit, even tho shes not with them in the physical nature, she will walk with them through lifes path and development, they may not be aware of that but she will watch over them as they grow.

aww Gina, thats so sad. Huge hugs for you (((gina)))

 

[Mrs_CakeyBun]

Thats so so sad ((((((Gina)))))) I don't have any-words that will comfort you at such a sad sad time, we lost our tiny baby grandson James a year ago and I will never ever forget the few precious weeks we to to have him with us. People say times a great healer but it must be a long time cos it hurts so much everyday doesn't it....When those gorgeous babies grow up just think of the time you will be able to tell them about their mum and what a wonderful person she was and how much she desperately wanted them....it might help to make a memory box to keep things in that are precious to you about your lovely friend maybe get copies of photos and things like that cos as the years go by things get put away etc and sadly misplaced. I have a memory box for precious family we have lost so that I have copies of photos and specially little reminders to keep them safe so they are there for the future what ever it holds.

Take care of yourself xxx
