those parents suffered the most traumatic loss and in the worst situation at home and to get no support and no validation that they had lost their child, its very wrong. If they had lost that baby in the hospital while admitted it would have been a very different story i mean what about her physical condition? did she even pass everything?

They didnt even offer counceling. Its just wrong and it makes me sick. I really feel for them

I really feel for those poor parents to go through something so traumatic and to have that happen to them is totally harsh, disrespectful, and plain rude. I am in total shock... I was crying reading that. I don't know how anyone could be that heartless to someone that had just lost a child.

I just hope  the hosiptal  gets whats coming to them . my heart goes out to this family   and please the funnarl  home  had more heart and help this family  through tis grief .

At least the funeral parlour was able to assist them in their time of grief.

after trying to sort myself out after reading this terrible tale, i don't know what to write...

as someone who as suffered a miscarriage i am absolutely disgusted with the treatment of this woman and her husband...

i miscarried at 12 weeks and was offered the opportunity for my baby to have a post mortem and a cremation at no finanicial cost to myself...

unfortunately the post mortem provided us with no answers and just made me feel guilty that i may have done something wrong that made this terrible thing happen to my precious baby...

the service at the crematorium was a great help, we were able to choose the denomination of the priest and the baby was in a baby coffin, i expected to see a little square box!  but was relieved to find that our baby even though only 12 weeks into the pregnancy was treated as just that... our baby.

the only thing that i purchased for the service was flowers, three ivory roses of different lengths to represent myself, my husband and our daughter, our local florist was wonderful and extremely sympathetic, withoout being patronising.  the roses were intertwined with fine baby blue and baby pink ribbon, as unfortunately due to the nature of my miscarriage the tests on our baby were inconclusive in sexing baby.

the hospital were generally very helpful and although i had a problem with one of the drs everyone in general was lovely and helped me greatly.  i was shocked at the offer of post mortem and service but apparently more places provide this even in early miscarriages.  not all ask, sometimes you have to be the one to ask and i don't think that every health authority does this free of charge as mine did.

i'm so glad that although a horrible experience as miscarriage is, i had the help of a supportive health authority, who also offered free counselling to me and my family if we wanted it.  i wish everyone who had the misfortune to suffer this experience had the support that i had, but most of all i wish none of us every had to experience this terrible loss in the first place.

my heart goes out to the parents in the article and i hope that with time they get some peace of mind and that they cherish their children every day, as i do...

i know have another daughter, who is my angel, i cherish my girls and thank god every day for the precious gifts that he provided for me when i was blessed with my girls....

lol xxxx.
