sad times....

[pollR78]

On Saturday I received a text from another parent letting me know that a girl in Amy's class had passed away - she had many health problems since being small, immune probs etc, so was mostly able to carry on like any normal 7 year old.

I sat Amy down on Saturday evening and told her, she accepted the news, was shocked and a bit quiet but ok in general.

The schools went back today (inservice yesterday), so last night I said to Amy they will talk about it today at school im sure went to mums after placement to get her and she came running to me with a letter from the school about the little girl and some tips about child bereavement etc and what the school are doing to help - Amy said lots of people cried and so did the teacher, and she did too - first she has cried about it - I told her it was ok to cry and its a normal part of grief.

So sad that poor little girl, her parents must be devastated, heartbroken, I feel sick when I think about it and I just hope Amy copes ok - one of the hardest things iv had to do as a mum I have had to break news of people dying to Amy before but never someone her age

Oh that poor family life is so unfair. I can't even begin to imagine how the family must be feeling.

Sending hugs for you and Amy, take care ((((Poll & Amy))))

Poor little mite. It is so so sad when little ones die and it creates so many questions and few answers for their friends and family.

Hopefully the school will be of help by maybe highlighting the positives from the little lasses life.

It is just so very very sad, I am glad Amy is taking it fairly well xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I can't imagine how her parents feel - no parent should have to bury a child, especially one so young xxxxxxxxxxxxx

thanks for the hugs - it is just so very unfair.

Amy had drawn a picture at school, and had a few 'bullet points' of why her and the little girl A were good friends, and then she had drawn them both, heartbreaking

Oh the poor little girl , and her parents
And poor Amy and her classmates, it's such a young age to have to face something like that.
Thankfully young children bounce back pretty quickly too, it sounds like the school are handling it well.
