There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness,
but of power. They speak more eloquently than 10,000 tongues. They
are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition and
of unspeakable love. – Washington Irving
The death of an infant
is one of the most devastating events that any person or family
can be asked to survive. We offer you these
various articles in the hopes that you will be able to find something
that will offer a moment of respite and comfort in this time
of
difficulty.
This grief is so deep. There is more than enough
pain to go around. Parents, you have lost your dreams, your hopes,
and your heart.
There is no deeper pain. Grandparents, you have suffered a
double loss. You grieve for the grandchild that was your future
and
your legacy and you grieve for your child who is in pain and
cannot
be comforted. Friends, Family and Caregivers you stand by watching
our pain, feeling helpless, sometimes frightened for infants
of your own. The ripple of our babies lives goes on and on.
There is hope. You are not alone. Others have gone before you.
