Lat Friday my little cousin of just 15 months old died of Meningitis. It was so sudden and I am still in shock. The funeral and burial was during the weekend, and he looked much more peaceful in the casket then when he was sick, a ton of makeup was needed though to hide the blackness that the meningitis caused. At least he isn't sick anymore....

sudden death of children is so hard to bear. I am sorry for your loss, too, Chibi_Neko. The nice thing about WP is it is always open for companionship and understanding.

Such an enormous tragic story! I understand it must be a traumatic chock for your family out of the small text you shared. Poor little baby who suffered so much.
I hope you all in the family is there now for the babys mother. Its one of the worst things that can happen a mother, to loose her child.
Im sorry for you and your family.

Take care the best you can....
