Losing a child is the absolute screaming nightmare for all parents who have a wanted child. And with handicap there is so much to let go of, so much to unravel. We're blessed. I remember those febrile convulsions and thought of you when Ivan C's symptoms were disussed.

Gordon Brown lost his baby daughter and I found myself welling up listening to his speech in the House today. he also knows what DC is going through.

Unbelievably, some MPs are said to suggested that PMQ shouldn't have been cancelled.

For me the identification is with Brown. I had my first miscarriage around the same time Jennifer was born. Our sons were born a week apart.

My heart really goes out to the Camerons. It must have been such a shock - Ivan had a life-limiting condition but had been fine in relative terms.

Yes, have been thinking of them a lot since I heard.
