Absolutely awful news, sincerest condolences to Liam and all his family and loved ones. Truly hope they receive all the time and support they will need to cope with such a heartbreaking event.
Matt Smith and his Wife (at Salford City last time I heard) have also lost a baby very recently, 4 months old Incredibly horrible in addition to LMs loss
His baby is also Steve Bruce’s grandson, so he’s on leave of absence. When I lost my son at 8 weeks to cot death, it was horrendous time. My grandfather (still had all my grandparents at the time) was devastated like us all but could not get back and kept saying about my son being all alone. When my second son was born, my Nan shouted upstairs as my grandad was getting dressed to say he’s born. My granddad shouted back “marvellous news” then he died. It was like he was hanging on to hear the news then went to be with my first son.
God how I feel for you, I have a son, daughter and 4 grandsons and I just imagined if it was to happen to me and it sent an agonising shudder down my spine, what pain and desolation some people have to cope with, how vunerable life can be.
Mrs R&Ws family had a history of stillborns, miscarriages and infant deaths so that was playing on our minds when she was carrying. She was also warned that she may never have children due to an ovary op when she was younger (before we met). We went on to have 3 healthy kids. Very blessed - and very thankful.
Obviously terrible times for you and your family ROD and it has to be something that you never get over.
OMG how absolutely tragic - especially at that time of year. So sorry to read this Angelic. I can’t begin to imagine how your family coped.
wow you don’t expect to loose you children before you go-The wife had a miscarriage between our two boys but that is nothing compared to loosing a son at 34
A very classy response from Liam which is exactly as I expected and, as he says, a thank-you has to go out to all of the people who showed their respect for him and his family at an awfully tragic time. My thoughts go out to all of our posters who have suffered similar family losses and you have to have incredible strength to get through these kinds of issues and for that reason you have my respect and admiration. I hope we have a good welcome back to our manager and it looks as if that is well under way. Stay strong everyone.
We all expect to say goodbye to our parents grand parents and can be a real emotional and sorry time. 1 of 4 boys my next youngest died just 50 or so meters from me... looking out from workplace having a *** there was an accident on Bath Road a van had pulled out and hit a motor bike .. racing over the shock was it my brother .... I had to phone my dad to tell him .. he collected my mum from keynsham and they got to hospital moments before he passed [ he had been taken into operating theatre at Frenchay but died of injuries before they could save him ]............ so I can relate to all that lose children and siblings, it is something some never forget losing infants has to be the most horrifying
