For Parents
Please also see our RED ALERT section -- information that could save an unborn baby's life.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences for the loss of your baby. Most of us here have lost babies too, so we know – firsthand – the depth of your pain.
Since pregnancy and infant loss are not openly discussed in Western society, each of us once felt ‘alone’ and suffered in silence.
You are no longer alone. We have shared feelings and thoughts that you are likely experiencing. And many of us now live with happiness and acceptance. In time, you will too.
Here you will find hope. “Time heals all” -- even this horrible grief. You will shift through your grief more quickly by taking advantage of resources like this website. You will be informed, empowered and strengthened by the recovery we all share. We are your community.
Your thoughts and feelings will be quickly ‘normalised’, and your grief will eventually go away. Sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. But it will go away.
We hope you’ll visit our website often: it’s updated very frequently. We care about every visitor, and we are going to help you through this.
