The Compassionate Friends

This is a wonderful site for support through your grief after the death of a child. After I lost my baby this is one of the websites I found to be helpful. They have a calander of events throughout the year that would be worth checking out. There is also a link to a radio program "Healing the Grieving Heart" that might be worth checking into. They have many resources (including for siblings) Compassionate Friends also has a beautiful magazine for $20/year that would make a great gift for anyone going through this horrible experience! I know I wish someone would have done something like that for me... something to acknowledge my loss and know they care instead of getting comments like "Oh, you're young still you'll have plenty of time to have kids" or "Shouldn't you be over this already?" or "Maybe there was something wrong with your baby and this was God's way of sparing you"... Most people are thoughtless and unkind.. I really suggest networking with others who understand, it helps! The Compassionate Friends is one of those places. http://www.compassionatefriends.org/ Also please, on Sunday, December 10th please light a candle at 7pm for all children who have died. http://www.compassionatefriends.org/2006_WCL/2006_WCL_Intro.htm
