Thank you for your kindnesses.
Please please pray for dear Emma and Andy and their children, we are all so desperately sad and distressed.
They are coping in an amazing way, our faith has brought so many people to their side, I have been with them since Thursday getting home each night after 12am. By yesterday afternoon I was so sick and exhausted Mark suggested we leave them and have a sleep and rest.
Marianna Rose is in Heaven which (in time) will bring huge comfort to everyone. As Catholics we believe she is a Saint now and will enjoy everlasting bliss. It is the immense pain and sorrow that her death has caused all the people sho loved her, but Emma's grief is just heart breaking, it truly is. But her strength is also so inspirational, I cannot explain how profound she has been and what insight she is seeing.
The post mortem has sadly been held up which brought even more pain as now Emma will not be able to see her little love again, on earth. The chief coroner is away until tomorrow so we may have some answers then.
She found her in the morning after sleeping (on Andy's birthday) with blood from her nose and mouth, and half her little face all purple. She was already cold. Emma screamed and Andy rang 999. They tried to get him to try resus over the phone but she said nothing helped. They rushed to the hospital where the Drs tired adrenalin and compressions; nothing. Eventually they came and said the baby had long long gone. They held her for a while and then let her go believing they would return, but alas it is not to be.
Two hours later the police were at the house interviewing them ALL day! They were asked so many questions. Her duvet, her baby clothes, her nappies were taken from Emma for evidence and testing- they basically take away everything. When I got there at 4pm Emma was curled up on the bed holding Marianna's last clothes sobbing her heart out. I just held her and cried and didn't leave her side for four days. What pain.
I must go now as I am taking my little boys out to buy them an animal each (they say 'hi') - they have all been devastated, my children adore all babies and especially loved our Goddaughter and saw her often.
Please keep praying for me too- my sickness wore off a little with the shock and grief but has returned. I have lost it a little and seem to be panicking about everything and wondering how I will get through this all now.
Sorry for such a sad and upsetting message.
God bless,
Amanda

What a truly heartbreaking and devastating post you've just so bravely written Amanda. I felt like you are feeling when my sisters husband died suddenly at a very young age. I remember standing in a corridor in the hospital and thinking "How are we going to cope with this". You wonder how anyone around you can be laughing and look happy. Unbelievably, we CAN get through these terrible times. It won't feel possible right now, I wouldn't have believed anyone who told me that when Michael died. It will of course take a long time, but give yourself time to grieve too. If you and Mariannes family can talk to people who have been through the same thing, it can really help. YES I'VE CHANGED, PAIN DOES THAT TO PEOPLE.

It is so sad Amanda.
I cannot think how the parents, and you as Godparents, can ever cope with this, but Julie is right, you will get through it in time.
Look after yourself too Amanda, for your children and the precious baby you are carrying.
Lots of love, Doreen xx
