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.

  10. Oh oh oh Heidi, when I had finished crying for you in your loss, so beautifully and poignantly and heart-breakingly written, the only thought I had was that the best possible tribute to your beautiful daughter would be to beat volder(s)hit, and get yourself better. She will never be forgotten, now she sits on your shoulder and helps you through this. With love. Cathy's dad xxxx

  47. Our son was diagnosed with severe inoperable heart defects 3 months into the pregnancy. He was not expected to live 3 days. After being born we lost him 3 times at 3 days, 5 weeks and again at 7 weeks but each time he came back to us. We battled every day for 14 months but eventually he lost the battle in February this year. It is heart breaking and you want to scream everyday but don't let it consume you. She is an angel now, looking over you.

    Love

    David and family.

  62. So sorry to hear you have been through so much, be gentle with yourself and concentrate on getting well for your sons and for her. You did your very best for her care and you could not have done more. It's a beautiful poem, written from your heart. Writing can be quite therapeutic and help you through this, I run two poetry forums, one is more social, the other is a workshop with more in depth comment from other poets. If you friend me on face book or Linked in, if you like, I will send you the links. I had a near death experience as a child - so feel certain your daughter is in a place of love light, warmth, peace and tranquillity,it was so beautiful, I wanted to stay there, but was returned to my body and family. I understand words can't ease the pain, hope that reading al; these, gives you a crumb of comfort,your heart will lead you through this path of grief, in your own way, and in your own time, there is no right or wrong way, only your way.

  98. Such a terrible thing to happen, I'm so sorry. It's when the chips are down like this that you need to say 'Sod this', and be strong for your daughter, your family, and yourself. Please don't despair. You made an impossible choice as best you could. She would be proud of her mum for giving her the best chance in the situation. Fight this evil and beat it for her! Believe you can, and you will.

    These are not empty words from me; I've lost a few family members to cancer including my mother to breast cancer; my dad has battled colon cancer and beaten it, and I'm fighting melanoma. The whole thing sucks! But I'm not going to let it win; I will be strong for my family, just as I know you will be strong for yours.

    All the best

  106. So, so sorry. My daughter "chose" to terminate her 3rd pregnancy when she found out she needed chemo for breast cancer aged 27. That was when she found out she was pregnant too, when they took her bloods for her cancer diagnosis. Suddenly she had cancer, and was pregnant to boot. She's never got over the baby that never was, she wasn't in a position to take any of it in at that period of her life, let alone take any rational decisions.

  130. Heidi,

    I read about your experience in the paper today. It touched me, because our first son was born, in an emergency situation, 14 weeks early. He lived, thanks to excellent medical care, but is quite severely handicapped--an event which changed our lives. Of course, we agonized for years over every decision we made during the pregnancy... what if we had done X differently, what if we had done Y differently? Eventually I realized the futility of such self-torture, and became at peace with it.

    I'm sure you're asking yourself too: "what if I had waited one more week?" So I just want to say one thing to you: it's not your fault. We make the best decisions we can; but sometimes, it's not enough.

  134. I don't have words that will make things better for you right now, I can't tell you things are going to be just fine and dandy, But, from my experience ( I'm 7 years in remission with 2 girls ( 7 and 4) and an angel baby boy who would have been 9 next year. You know, When you have an angel child, everything else seems so easy to beat! I know from the little I have read on your blog and in the news that the strength that you have from your experiences will take you far, and though I'm devastated to hear your news today I wish you all hope and positivity for the future, Ally will be with you all forever, came along for a reason. Much much more than you will see for a while x keep strong, Allow each other patience to deal with so so much at different times and in different ways xx

    I am in tears reading your words of love for your beautiful daughter Ally Louise. My heart truly goes out to you for the heart breaking loss of your child and your crappy deal with the big C. Ten years ago we lost our first born son Patrick after 5 days are we know the heartbreak and sorrow that follows. I always remember reading a poem at the time that gave me great strength. It talked about "the child that you will never have, but yet, the child that you will always have". A child never forgotten, always remembered. We went on to have two more wonderful children, but just like you and Kieth, we will always have three.

    Last year my wife was also diagnosed with the dreaded Breast C. A Mastectomy, the Chemo, the radiotherapy and the Herceptin wonder drug. We are coming out the other side of all that and I know what a rotten deal that is for you too. You are so unbelievably brave holding out as long as you could for the sake of your wonderful daughter Ally Louise and my thoughts are with you at this terrible time.

  153. I have followed your story and just discovered the outcome. I can't tell you how truly sorry I am for you and your family. I heard you on the radio and I was awe struck by your bravery and courage. You were so positive and a shining example to anyone going through cancer at such a young age. I just wish life was fair, it is random and you do not deserve to go through this pain and suffering. I am sure we all meet in heaven but may your beautiful baby daughter be still within you today and always. Jan Artingstall

  166. We haven't met but I know you through my sister, an old uni friend of yours. Hearing your news and reading your poem brought me to tears. Such terrible news after all you have been through. I am so sorry.
    The oncology team at Bristol are great! They cured me of testicular cancer and they'll cure you. Be as strong as you have shown you are and let time heal your heart as the chemo cures you. Never forget her, she'll always be with you and your family.

  171. So sorry for your loss; so very sorry.
    When you feel a heart break
    That you know doesn't compare
    To the one that is particularly felt

    So very sorry for your loss
    When you feel a sadness
    That is you know can be as sad
    As the sad that you lovely woman feel

    So very sorry for your loss
    When words can't convey
    The droop in your face
    As you read such a tearful story

    So very sorry for your loss. Praying that you feel better, praying for your comfort, praying for all to be well.

  172. Your likely to write another song about people like me, people who write cliche shit at a time when nothing anyone in the world could say would make you feel any better. You are the most inspirational person I have ever came across. Your baby girl was and always will be beautiful, and frankly your the bravest fuckin woman on the earth. I am thinking of you and your family at this time, I send every bit of love and luck I can to you all. Next time I act like the stupid 19 year old I am and winge cause I haven't got any money or because work makes me late home an I miss hollyoaks or whatever other shit I wanted to watch on tele, I remember there are people like you out there that go through this shit and do it with a smile for ur family. You have truly opened my eyes. God bless u and ur family xxxxxx

  173. Dear Heidi. So sorry to hear this terrible news. I lost my son 7 years ago and have found huge support and comfort through a charity called The Compassionate Friends. Everyone has lost a child but help each other through. It was my lifeline. Please look them up when you feel able to. You and your family are in my thoughts. Xx

  183. I am so desperately sorry for your loss. Words seem so empty besides the grief and worry you must be feeling. Stay strong. I lost my mum a couple of weeks ago and she has been by my side with my 3 breast cancers over the last 6 years - her message to me was "Life Goes On" and thats the mantra that keeps me going. Bless your heart sweetheart xxxxx
