Be there for your friend, the next few months are going to be really tough.

Our daughter (nearly 4) passed away 12weeks ago very unexpectedly (in her sleep).
Awww that's sad.

Our condolences. Or is that an over-used word these days?

Shocking. Nothing really prepares for that

Man that sucks. Hopefully having a daughter will help him through it... it can go either way in such cases I understand. I don't know enough about kids to have any idea how much a 2 1/2 year-old will remember and be affected?

It's posts like this that really put our petty CUK bickering about things into perspective.

Best wishes go out to both of you MF and Craig.

Doctor, Police, Ambulance? I'm helping out and waiting the call, but who do I need to speak to first when it happens?
Oh MF that's so horrible

But did you really post on here to ask us what to do before you rang the doctor?

I'm confused why MF was doing what the husband should have been doing. Is this one of those "I have a mate" situations?

I think he was just being there. His mate was probably strssed to flip looking after his wife and kid, MF helping out was probably a godsend for them.

craig_m67 & MF. Sorry to hear of your losses. The petty troubles of the day pail into insignificance when you are reminded of sad losses such as these. Always sadder to hear of the death of a child or a young child losing a parent. Heartfelt condolences to you all.
