I too have had a stillborn baby she would have been 14 March gone, I always think of others that have been through such a loss. I didn’t realise there was such a day, it is nice to all think of each other today.
So Thanks for your thread!
Such a hard topic to raise awareness of
I hope you don’t mind me putting these two groups up they may be of some comfort as they have been for me.
I would like to put here SANDS which stands for Stillborn and neonatal death society was a great source of comfort to me as they are a group of parents that have gone through the same ordeals. They were on the end of a phone when ever I needed them.
I would like to thank them for their support, I will never forget how they helped me knowing I wasn’t alone.
And I support Tommy’s campaign they research the possible causes as to what could have gone wrong.
I saw Queen back in 86, and hubby has been a fan since 73/74 when he first saw them backing mott-the-hoople.
Freddy was a great front man so I did have reservations on how they were going to pull this off.
All I can say is in no way was Paul Rogers trying to be Freddy. Paul Rogers in great live, I have never rated him on in the studios.
There was one song Paul Rogers sung that I thought he didn’t really pull it off That was “the show must go on” but other than that the rest was good.
What a lot of people seem to forget is Queen wasn’t just Freddy, Brain May and Roger Taylor are brilliant musicians and I was gobsmacked at their performances last night outstanding. Freddy was there last night he was mentioned a lot he haven’t been forgotten. When Brian may sung “Love of my life” and dedicated it to Freddy you seemed to feel him there beside you.
So I would say a great concert!
Have you seen the new line up?
Even if you haven’t, what are you views?
Should the music carry on?
Has been having a laugh with me! lol
I must say reading some of these storys has sadden me, how I feel sometimes we are a product of our parents creation.
I was blessed with parents that I knew always loved and respected me as an individual, money was always tight we never got what we wanted, only at christmas and bithdays. But i always knew we didn't want for much either. I have always felt what children need and thrive on is knowing you have the total support and love of your parents.
It wasen't all honey and roses at home my dad was a drinker, my mum was and still is the backbone of our family, but I knew my dad still loved us. He was the one that when he had a day off would get us out to the country he never drove, but we would all have fun family days out.
They encourged friends to come around, we always had parties, our friends still go to visit them to this day.
So althought I wanted a lot, I know wants are different from needs.
I hope this hasent come across to soppy. It wasen't always happy but I realise I have been lucky.
I just wish everyone was told and felt love from their parents.
I hope my kids look back and see us as I see my parents, that is my aim and goals.
Doesn't like rock music! :cry:
