Clare Louise, 54, lost her seven-year-old in 2018 after she woke up with 'the sniffles' and came home from school early as she was “quite lethargic” and her hip hurt
A woman whose seven-year-old daughter came home from school with “the sniffles” and died a day later with a serious strep A infection that turned into sepsis, has now written a book giving other grieving parents support.
Clare was “totally in shock” and could not help feel like she “failed” even though “there was nothing” she could have done, as it turned out Annalise had iGAS, which “could have been treated with antibiotics”. “We all had to have tests and medication straight away to check if we had iGAS too, which was absolutely surreal.
“She was still under the weather, and at lunchtime I got a call from the school saying she was very distressed, and when I picked her up she was quite lethargic. “I remember taking her trousers down when she went to the toilet and her thighs were all mottled – at that point I rang the hospital straight away.”She said: “She was in the hospital at 10 o’clock and she died at one in the afternoon.“It could have been treated with antibiotics but it wasn’t picked up on – as a mum, I felt like I failed.”She said: “I felt quite isolated to begin with – a lot of people didn’t know what to say because losing a child isn’t something a lot of people go through.
“The first 18 months to two years was really tough, and then very gradually, there started to be glimpses of blue sky, where you might have a moment where something makes you laugh, or you have a moment of peacefulness.“But I of course still get upset and have days where I let myself cry and cry.”
