Hi RubieJane

I am so saddened to hear your desperately tragic news that your new born precious daughter lost her life, which had only just begun, to the nasty bacterial meningitis. Her funeral today will have been distressing beyond belief for you and your family. My thoughts are with you.

The Meningitis Now helpline is a great support should you need to talk about your daughter. You can cry and express your emotions and they will listen and offer support and understanding.

Hi RubieJane,

I am so sorry to read this, and I hope you are finding some strength to get through each day. I am in a very similar situation, my 7 week old son passed away on 15th May from men B septicaemia. I completely understand the pain, it is unbearable. The funeral makes the second hardest day of your life, but I hope in some way it was comforting to see the love of your family and friends. Feel free to message me at nking0409@gmail.com if you would like to share in some way.

Love to your family.

Hi RubieJane,

I lost my father to bacterial meningitis two years ago. It is a very nasty disease.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sincerely,

Paul

Hi RubieJane,

Nothing I can say can adequately express my sympathy for you and your family. As StrawberryCream says, Meningitis Now can offer support, counsel and understanding at these times and are there for you/all of us. They helped my family following the loss of my cousin to BM and provided support when the world fell apart, and showed us how to re-build. I know they'd appreciate a reach out.

With my best wishes, thoughts and prayers.

Yours Justin X
