Hi, Our son William was born on 18th May 2011
33 Hours later we made the very difficult decision to turn his ventilator off, to spare him more hurt.

All Is Well
Death is nothing at all,
I have only slipped into the next room
I am I and you are you
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used
Put no difference in your tone,
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it was,
Let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was, there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near,
Just around the corner.
All is well

How truly awful for you. I love this exerpt from a Wordsworth poem
n excerpt from Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by William Wordsworth
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
The outpouring of sympathy and caring from the site users gives me hope that the world is a lovely place.
