We all have a story, an experience. Similarities may exist from one story to the next, but every one is unique, because every child that we have lost is unique.
Writing can be a way to bond, a way to move forward, maybe even heal to an extent. Knowing that others have been in the place you are now, being able to relate, can bring a measure of comfort. If you are in a place where you would like to share, read the submission rules and Share Your Story here. We welcome stories from all family members...moms, dads, siblings, extended family, friends...
