The Forgotten Grief: Parent to Parents
In the fifty years that I have lived and in the 25 years I have encountered grief
and loss as a professional, (and my own) I have asserted that there is no better help for a hurting person than someone who has gone through the same experience.
The most successful help for grieving parents is from those who have walked through the death of their own babies: the best healthcare professionals can do is facilitate that link. Ways parents may help each other will be explored in this page. Be patient as we construct this site..
