tzijlstra Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Tragic this, various sources report a body has been found in the Avon Gorge thought to be that of Charlotte Bevan, who walked out of hospital in Bristol with her four day old baby at night, wearing only slippers, trousers and a long black top, with the little one wrapped in blankets. There were no indications she would do something like this apparently. Utterly tragic loss of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzijlstra Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 The impression I get, from reading the pleas of family members to encourage her to come home safely is that this might be related to post-natal depression, a dreadful affliction that is devastating to not just the mother but also those around her. I feel very sorry for those she left behind, it must be an awful time for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) This is so terribly sad - this should have been such a happy time for the lady and her family. To be in such a dark, dark place that the only way there seems to be out of it is to take your own life is so tragic. I hope there is better news about the baby............ RIP young Mum - I hope you have now found peace. Edited December 4, 2014 by Daven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 It doesn't look good for the baby if it is outside somewhere in this very cold weather. I really hope there is good news after bad. RIP to the mum who appears to have had depression, a dreadful affliction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle-82 Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 They've now found the babies body very close to the mothers body extremely sad news. Who knows what that poor woman must have been going through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
