Our beautiful girl

Yesterday afternoon our hearts broke in two. 
For we had to say goodby to you.
Our love for you is a beautiful haze
Even though you lived for 8 short days 

We kissed you, we cuddled you, we tickled your feet,
And I know again one day we'll meet
Today brought a rainbow, the lightest of hue
And I wondered if it was sent from you?

Our beautiful daughter Ally Louise, 
I whisper your name and it drifts on the breeze,
The pain in my body and heart and my soul 
Feels it will consume me and leave me un-whole 

Your brothers will honour you in all that they do, 
We forever have 3 children, not just two,
I will try to heal for you, and my body unfurl
You'll be always beside me our beautiful girl.

My heart is breaking for you and your family. I am 29 weeks pregnant and diagnosed with a form of leukaemia in my first trimester. Life is so cruel. Stay strong lovely lady, you will find a way through this xx

I am so saddened to my core to hear of you losing your precious little girl. Be strong Heidi , grieve, but hold all your boys tight and fight against this for her. I cannot imagine your pain, am sending you as much love and strength as I can for you and your family.

My son died in July after an emergency c-section at 27 weeks and 4 days. When I read of Ally's birth in the papers, I hoped so hard that she would make it, that your treatment would be successful, that you would go on to see her grow up and thrive. I'm so sorry for your loss - it's the hardest thing in the world to lose a child, and to be going through cancer treatment at the same time must be so difficult.

I hope you have good support. Your local SANDS (Stillbirth and Neonatal Death Society) group is there for you whenever you need them - and their helpline (https://www.uk-sands.org/support/how-we-offer-support/telephone-helpline) is open extra hours over Christmas. They have email support as well.

Ally was here. She touched many lives. You are her mother, and you always will be.

So so sorry to hear about your loss. I've first come across your story on BBC Breakfast and was horrified to hear this morning about the loss of your precious daughter. Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time and sending you prayers and lots of well wishes.

Our deepest heartfelt sympathy. Your little baby girl will be your guardian angel looking down on you, and fighting your battles with you. There are no winners in this game, our fate is all the same at the end but have peace knowing that you will be able to hold her again one day. She will be with you in spirit wherever you go. xxxx

Heidi I'm so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine your pain. Know that you've offered so much inspiration through your courage and strength. Much love to you and your family x

I cannot imagine the pain you are going through, but you have been so brave, tried to do the best thing for everyone in such a difficult situation; such heartbreak is truly undeserved. Sending wishes for healing of body and soul, and love to you and your family. Rest in peace, Ally Louise xxx

Heidi Prayers for Strenght and courage, I lost my baby girl too, but she will be by your side always, her mission was complete and when you meet again she will be there to thank you for the gift of eternal life xoxo

Heidi and your wonderful family - so sorry to hear your devistating news xx

Be proud of yourself for giving Ally Louise the best possible chance to be with you - and she did for 28 weeks and those oh so special 8 days.

I lost my daughter Kelly Jane 21 years ago,(30 weeks + 3 very special days).

We have an inscription at the Church where hubby and I got married:

'Life is like a flower, it doesn't matter how long it lasts, It's how beautiful it is'

Keep strong Heidi for all 5 of you xxx

A new shining star, who's hopefully playing with my baby too xxx

Life can be such a bastard. I hope you get to avenge her death by beating Voldertit. My deepest sympathy to you and your family for your loss.

Gigi said...

Bless your heart and your family. Every mother on this earth can imagine your pain and would wish you the deepest comfort. You are often in my thoughts and I'm wishing you strength and peace.

Unknown said...

Thinking of you Heidi at this wretched time. So sorry to hear about your dear little Ally. We will be thinking of you and your boys often as you enter the new year and we are wishing you strength and our warmest wishes of hope and courage for 2016

Sharon Elizabeth Thomson said...

So so sad for your loss. I think about it and wonder how I would feel. I think I know how I would feel but how could in possibly comprehend without being in your position. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time xxx

So sorry to hear of your sad loss of Ally Louise. We wonder at such times why little children pass away at such young ages. It is my understanding that all of us come to earth from a previous pre-earth life and that some children are so pure that they do not need to be proved in this mortal life. I think this will be the case with Ally Louise and all little children who pass away.

Heidi, I just wanted to reach out and say your poem is absolutely beautiful and resonates with me. You are not only amazingly strong but truly inspirational. 3 years ago I lost my son and have never felt pain like it, I can't imagine how or what you are going through right now, as if the grief of losing a child isn't enough to bare. Keep strong, keep fighting, keep breathing in and out for your 2 beautiful boys and your beautiful girl. I can only say the pain gets easier and what kept me strong was my other 2 children. Your little girl will be yours forever and will forever be in your heart. Sending my heart to you while yours is mending.... ❤️

Lovely words x

Thank you for your beautiful poem. In your words there is more meaning than most others, that I cannot begin to know, but I believe life and love is meaning..

Dear Heidi and family, our thoughts are with you all at this time, and, though it's heart-tearingly painful, the pain will numb. We also lost our baby close to Christmas a couple of years ago, but now we have a beautiful baby girl, 9 months old now; our greatest of Christmas presents. Good luck, Heidi, and though Christmas will be a joyless affair this year, I sincerely hope next year brings you new hope. P, J and Baby E. xxxxx

Heartbreaking; so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I lost my own (and my only) when she was 28 years old and I know how painful it is when you lose them at any age. Keep Ally Louise in your heart. I wish you healing and health. xo

I lost my beautiful daughter nearly 4 in March this year, she continues to shower her love from heaven. You will feel your daughters nearness, you will strengthen from her presence in your life, and the hope where she is will give you courage. God will bring beauty out of this pain, you will know how loved you are. You must be a very special person, with a heart full of love. Do not fear all will be well. You are in my prayers. Trust in God he will give you joy. Your daughter is safe forever in eternal beauty and she is very, very happy.

Dear Heidi, Much love from across the miles. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. A bereaved mother myself I have been there. 17 years on I still wouldn't want to miss those few short weeks I had with my premature son. Take gentle care and look after yourself. Get well and know that there are so many people rooting for you! <3

I lost my little girl, Flo, 26 weeks into my first pregnancy. As part of the memory box a card with the following inscription was included:

A butterfly lights besides us

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam...
And for a brief moment it's glory
And beauty belong to our world ...
But then it flies on again, and although
We wish it could have stayed,
We are so thankful to have seen it all.

This little card sits on my dressing table so I see it every day and now I smile when I read the words, but in the early days I never thought I would be able to read this without bursting into tears. I have been following your story and was so so sadden to hear about your darling little girl. The only thing I can tell you from my experience is that the pain will absolutely never go away but one day it won't feel as raw as it does now, I promise you that. Please know that there are people up and down the length and breadth of this country that are holding you and your beautiful family in their thoughts and wishing you all the best with your treatment.

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. Praying that God would give you comfort and strength as you go through your treatment. A close friend of mine recently went through a journey with pregnancy and cancer, so thank you for what you have been willing to share of your story.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your irreplaceable baby girl.

I am just so so sorry. Thinking of you xxx

You gave your precious child every chance at life, and she got 8 days with you. You are wonderful, and strong. I hope you don't mind if I mourn your loss, but also give thanks for your courage, as a person, as a family.

As mother, who recently lost two sons;one to stillbirth, one to SIDs, the road of grief is not an easy one, and I'll not tell you it'll be easier over a specific period of time. I will say though, you will survive it, though your scars will ache, and sometimes bleed.

Also, it's okay to have days where you're 'normal.'

I pray that you'll return to health. Good luck.

-Rory, from Australia

Only came across you blog after watching an extraordinary pregnancy on tlc. I was reduced to tears the moment i started watching. I would never understand what it would fell like to have cancer and be pregnant at the same time. However I am a mother who has suffered the loss of a baby, a baby girl (harper-rose) who was stillborn at full-term (41weeks pregnant)
