I'm sorry Sarah. His life was a happy one which was clearly filled with love, however short it may have been. You should take some solace in that.

Rest easy little dude.
From out of nowhere you came strong as stone
And now I'll never have to be alone
What it is I know
You have always been my safe home

Sarah I'm so very sorry to hear this - poor little babe :(  It must have been his time.  It must be some consolation that he died in the safety of his home.  My heart goes out to you hun  :hug:

RIP little one, play hard at the Bridge, until you mummy comes to collect you.

:care: There are no words for things like this, Sarah. At least Tom knew he was loved for the short time he was alive.

RIP, Tom.  :(

What an awful thing to happen. There's really nothing I can say, but my thoughts are with you.

Thank you for sharing the pictures of your handsome little boy.

RIP Tom, have fun at the Bridge until your Mum is ready to collect you  :hug:

He was a very handsome young man Sarah, still can't believe what's happened  :hug:

Remember Our Love

I was chosen today
I'm learning to fly
the world took me away,
but please don't you cry

And I chose you today
to try and be strong
so please don't you cry
and don't say that I'm gone

When you're feeling alone
just remember our love,
I'm up near the stars
looking down from above.

Remember our love
In a moment you'll see
that I'm still here beside you
when you're thinking of me.

Tom is now resting peacefully in my Mums back garden.

He looked so peaceful and beautiful, I'm so glad I didn't get the p/m, I needed to see him like that for the last time, un-touched and beautiful <3









My Gorgeous Boy <3
You don't know how much I miss you already, your sister Tilly and baby Charlie miss you so much, they keep looking out the door anytime they hear a noise. Please be safe now angel.

This has all happened so fast, who would have thought this at this time yesterday  :'(

I probably wouldnt have gone with a pm either sarah and with your own medical knowledge you probably know that some sort of congenital hereditory problem was the cause..that doesnt make it any easier for you though just now.

THank goodness you have the other two too keep you going just now and i'm sure they will be great giving you lots of hugs knowing their mummy is so upset.

I am so so sorry to hear this, but think you are doing the right thing by not doing a pm, just remember him as being peaceful. IT is so much harder to deal with when it is unexpected like this, and I Can't imagine how much worse it is when they are so young. WE are all here for you though, will be thinking of you, and RIP little one.

A similar thing happened to a friend of mine - the vet suspected heart problems.

RIP Tom.  Enjoy playing with all the other cats at the bridge.

Sarah hon, I am really feeling for you. I can't believe this happened so suddenly.

My sincerest wish is that by putting him to rest it gives you some closure. Its early days yet honey. Thinking of you xxx

the vet phoned.

he said there are no outright signs as to what could have caused this and without a p/m they won't be able to give a specific diagnosis.
he said it's more than likely been an undiagnosed cardiac problem, maybe a murmer.

i don't want him to do the p/m, i would like to bury him and see him before i do it and i don't want his wee body to be disturbed so i'd rather they didn't do it. i will go and pick my baby up later on and let him rest peacefully.

mark - he was only 9 months  :'(

thanks everyone xx

Very sorry to hear this but one consolation is that he seems to have died peacefully - something to be grateful for. You'll see him again at the Bridge.

OMG Sarah how awful for you.  Sounds like it might have been a heart attack or something similar.

I know it's no comfort but at least he was at home and not outside when it happened.  My heart goes out to you babe.

RIP Tom ... play hard at the bridge baby your mummy is missing you so much.
