Death of Baby/Child
The Lost Child Page


 


For a unique, compassionate, enlightened approach to coping with bereavement, "Back to Life" might be just what you are looking for. Read all about it here:
     Grief Guidebook

                 

Death of baby or child...

Welcome to the "Lost Baby or Child" page. We never compare losses when it comes to grief, but it is well known that losing a child is one of  the most profound, the most overwhelming, the most inconsolable of losses to deal with.

It violates the natural order of things--- your children are not supposed to die before you! Your love for your child is unconditional and pure--- perhaps the most profound of attachments you will ever have. You may feel rage at the injustice of it all. And lastly, you are likely to feel some guilt, no matter how random and blameless the death was.

As devastating as your loss is, we know that you will one day overcome this tragedy and find your way back to life without your baby.

May you begin to heal by telling others about the loss of your own special child, and also find some comfort in similar stories posted by other bereaved parents.

Ready to tell your story?  It's very easy, and there is no cost. Just click in and start writing below:

(*Tip: Compose your story first in Notepad or other simple word processor, make all your corrections, then copy and paste into the box below. We also ask that you please do NOT type in ALL CAPS; but we would appreciate if you did capitalize "I". Thanks so much for following these simple guidelines.)
