As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

I'm Currently Feeling: | My ex He's only gone and got himself a date next week. God I can't stop myself flipping crying.
I said earlier that he's my best friend, I love him to pieces but I think I've been mistaking my love as a friend as more because I'm so lonely and need to feel wanted/needed. And I get so upset about him flirting with others and the thought of him going out on a date only upsets me because he's the only one I see these days out of my friends and without him I'm left on my own.
I see him on a regular basis, stay most weekends but now if he's seeing someone else that's all going to stop and I'm going to have to spend more time on my own and be at my parents more which is something that I REALLY don't like doing.
I'm in such a state it's stupid

I'm Currently Feeling: | Poor hun
Maybe the break will do you good and you'll be able to move on. It's so easy to stay entangled in the emotions of an ex, even if you don't want to be with them, I should imagine it's x100 if you're pregnant  |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Awww hun, I'm sorry to hear you feel so crappy right now. I think any of us girls can relate to how you feel!!!
If ex is not seeing you the way you see him, he's not the one for you and doesn't deserve you!!! In fact, he might be keeping you distracted whilst Mr Right is trying to find you! Try to remember that you're so not alone, family and your LO will always be there, and time never stands still for long..... you'll soon meet new people and make new friends.... and those big strong arms wont be too far away!  | | | | Status: Offline

I'm Currently Feeling: | I know it's probably for the best and the space will be good but I just feel so lonely and without seeing the one person who I've seen nearly everyday for 8 months my best friend I'm going to be more lonely than ever.
All my other friends are out doing their own things, mostly going out and getting drunk or sitting in the pub all day but I'm not going to be able to do that anymore one because of LO and two because I won't be able to afford it.
Guess I'm just scared of being on my own that's all. Or stuck somewhere I don't like being.

| Oh no....are you able to still go to the pub, but just drink some juice or something with your friends? I did that when we went out before I grew to epic proportions.
No matter what, it is hard to see an ex with someone else or to know about it. In some way one still sees that person as a part of him/herself and the connection is there. It takes time for that connection to fully break. And being pregnant, you need the extra support.
I was married for 8 years and although I did not wish to be with him anymore nor did I love him, it was still hard to know he was looking for someone else. Now, I could not care less, but it took time.  | | | | Status: Offline
