Darcy Rogers
Born and died the 24th April 2008. Much loved, and first born child of Darren and Martina. Stay
close little one. Mummy and Daddy love you x
Darcy's story.
Written 12th June 2008
Darcy was born at 7.34pm, at 23 weeks, on Thursday 24th April 2008 Her Mum was in hospital for a
week because her waters broke prematurely. She came after 15 hours of labour ....Her Daddy held her
for four hours, he wouldn't put her down but she only lived a few minutes. She really tried hard to
fight but her lungs just weren't strong enough. Her Daddy and Grandma Sykes were there at the
birth, looking after everyone and being incredibly brave and supportive.
She was baptised my her Grandma when she was being tended to by the paediatrician and we held a
blessing and naming ceremony for her the following Sunday which was attended by our family.
She was a thoughtful little girl - even whilst her Mum carried her, she never made her feel sick and
always kicked enough to make her sure she was safe. Even when her Mummy's waters broke, she still
had a strong heartbeat, kicked as much as ever, woke up and wriggled at all the usual times.
Every night before we went to sleep we would listen to her heartbeat and Daddy would kiss her
through Mummy's tummy and give her some grown up advice...."Always remember....". We always said we
should write down Daddy's advice in a little book and regret we never did. We never thought this
would happen. 'Always remember... that your Mummy is never wrong!' Martina particularly liked that
one!
Her funeral was just perfect - just Darren and Martina attended with our lovely hospital chaplain
Anna conducting the service. We asked for the Blue Danube Waltz to be played because we used to
imagine dancing with her in our living room, twirling her around in our arms, her playing with
bubbles in the bath and her first tiny swimsuit.....we tried to meditate on these happy thoughts
while in hospital to try and help Darcy feel content and loved before she was born ......Anna read
our verses beautifully (you can read them below) and Darcy was cremated with a picture of her Mum
and Dad, a teddy bear and a flower from each of her Grandparents and her Aunts and Uncle.
Poor Daddy has had to go back to work and face the real world even though his grief is still raw
whilst Mummy has been afforded some time at home to grieve more privately
It's been terribly hard since Darcy died and we still can't believe this has happened to us,
although time has started to ease the pain - just like everyone said it would. I hope that will
bring some comfort to others who are reading this and may have lost someone.
Our dreams and hopes for our daughter have been shattered and its very hard not to think about 'what
if's' and 'what we would be doing nows'.
We light a candle in our bedroom every night for Darcy before we sleep and we have put all your good
wishes and cards in a memory box for her future brothers and sisters to read when the time is right.
Your messages give us so much strength - its amazing how much it helps to know someone is thinking
about us and our little one.
Thank you to everyone who has sent cards, flowers, phoned us, thought about us and Darcy and who has
helped us with their kindness and consideration. I am also thankful to all those kind people who
have flooded this page with loving messages since it was created.
Very special thanks to the midwives, doctors, ward staff, chaplain and bereavement team at
Hinchingbrooke Hospital in Huntingdon. You are an amazing bunch of people, who made our sad journey
much more bearable through your kindness.
Martina and Darren
Loving parents to Darcy

♥ Goodnight Godbless Darcy ♥
♥ Sweetdreams Baby Angel ♥
♥ Love Tina (Callum Coulson`s Mammy) ♥
Thank you
Darling Darcy - I know you had a lot to do with it - I asked and you helped. Thank you little one - sending kisses and cuddles to our precious Number One little girl in heaven. Love Mummy xx
My darling daughter
Dear little Darcy - sometimes I feel I am getting better, able to function and get on with my day and then other times it hits me hard. No-one understands how much I miss you and what a terrible wrench it was to have you taken from me. As time goes by, people seem forget or think your Daddy and I are ok now, but for us it just means our time without you is longer and we grieve harder. Without you I am lonely and tearful - please give me the strength to accept that I have lost you and to move on with my life. Your Daddy has been so brave and there is nothing I want more than to make him happy with another child. Not to replace you darling as that will never happen. Sprinkle some angel dust our way will you sweetheart? Your Mummy and Daddy love you and I hope you can feel our love in heaven. You are always in our hearts xx
Beautiful little lady.
I have just spent a special few days with your Mummy and Daddy, where they introduced me to your lovely self.
I am blessed to have them as friends and part of my family, so, I'm sharing with you a part of my family.
I have said a prayer to my Gran and ask she keeps a loving arm around you.
Sending you Love and fairy kisses sweet Darcy. Curles XX
