Just to let you all know that Shaun lost his battle this afternoon - in the end the infection got him and he had multiple organ failure. He fought so hard and all the staff worked so hard with him. They gave us an extra 4 months with him and for that we are very grateful. Thankyou for your kind words and support - please forgive me if I'm not around for a while - I need a little time.
Big hugs
Rachel xx

ReplyDeleteDear Rachel
ReplyDeleteI felt such a shock when I read those words. Words that you have been so brave to share with us at this moment. Shaun displayed the most incredible courage those past months as have you and your beautiful girls. I believe anyone who reads this post will be feeling the same way as myself. That so many of us will never have met you but that doesn't lessen the sadness we will be feeling in our hearts as we read this news.
Sending my deepest sympathies to you, your girls and to Shaun's family.
Love Lynne x

This is one post that I had hoped I would never read Rachel, Shaun fought so hard to stay with you all and you were by his side every step of they way - you should be proud of him and yourself. I am so sorry that it has turned out this way, I can't imagine how you must be feeling but I know you have the strength to get through this. Please know that you and the girls are in my thoughts, take care of yourself and them and come back and let us know how you all are when you are ready.

ReplyDeleteThought I should also just say that you may want to edit your give away post above as it may confuse people, - you obviously scheduled that one, and I would hate for people to leave comments re Shaun which are sadly no longer relevant now. xxxx

Rachel, I am so sorry to hear this sad news, I have been absent from blogland for a week or two and only just read your post. I really don't know what to say except that my heart goes out to you and your girls and the rest of the extended family. I will remember you all in my prayers this evening and ask that you are given the strength to cope with the coming months as you go through the challenges that lie ahead. God Bless you all

ReplyDeleteOMGgoodness Rachel I have only just seen this. I am so sorry, he fought so bravely and you have been such a tower of support. Please take life easy at this dreadfully sad time. Sending you love and all my very best wishes, may he rest in peace xxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI know I'm coming late to the news - and I know there's nothing anyone can say to take away the grief and pain. I can only say how very sorry I am to hear of Shaun's death; but also how amazed and impressed I am by your strength and honesty and openness.
ReplyDeleteIt's always been clear what Shaun meant to you and your daughters, and it sounds as though you heard at the funeral how much he was respected and loved by others outside of his immediate family circle. It is clear from the posts you've written since that you are providing such love and strength to your girls, and finding support from the wider family. And if the good wishes and love of the even wider family of blogland helps at all - it is all here. Thinking of you with love.

Dear Rachel, with everything that has been going on here, I haven't kept up with many things and I am so sorry that I had missed this. I am so sorry to hear that Shaun passed away. I am so very sorry for you and the girls. I will keep you in my thoughts and I hope that the coming of spring might make it a little easier for you. Many hugs Anna-Karin
