    A lot of good info here. My sister lost a baby and I will never forget seeing my dad cry for the first time. God bless all who have had this tragic loss. Blessed.

    This is an extremely valuable resource for those who lose a baby and those who are trying to support these parents. I am adding this straight away to my 'Living Articles on Squidoo' lens. Hope it helps!

    Losing a baby must be so devastating. My daughter spent three weeks in NICU, it was so sad, she was born with an infection in your blood. I was fortunate to eventually take my beautiful baby home. Other moms were not. I can only imagine the hole left in ones heart. Your lens offers such encouraging words. Blessed!

    NICU is an all too familiar place for me. My niece passed away in a NICU in Boston in 1999. Back then, online resources like this didn't exist - at least in this amazing capacity. You've done a great thing, this must help so many. Squid Angel blessed.

    My youngest son was in the NICU for 2 months. It was so hard to go in there every day knowing that not all the babies would survive.

    My youngest child, and my sister's two oldest (twins) all spent time in the NICU. It was so sad to see some of the babies there not make it. We did not have to go through it ourselves with our children, but the possiblity was always there and feared. Blessings!

    I appreciate what you've pulled together here for this wonderful resource. Several friends have lost children through the years, and for that reason, your suggestions and resources mean all the more to me. Thank you.,

    what wonderful resources. it's such a difficult time. as a newborn photographer in a hospital, i occasionally am asked to take bereavement photos. it's difficult, but the parents are so grateful to have the memories of the sort time they did have with the baby. many hospitals use http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org - volunteer photographers on-call for any circumstance.

    This is a beautiful lens. Of 12 pregnancies, I have 6 magnificent children. Of those 6, 4 were born too soon - and I speak about my anguish when Aiden was so ill at 8 weeks old in Aiden-my-son. Thank you!

    We lost our son almost a year and a half ago. Questions still come up, grief, doubts. I miss him so much. I totally agree that you take them with you and they live in your thoughts and actions. I created a couple of lenses one is on how to create a memorial book and the other is Moms of Angels. I've included my story on them. All you mom's out there I grieve with you.

    My sympathies goes to the families who has lost a child. I cant imagine the pain they're going through, and I certainly wouldn't want to wish that It'll happen to anyone. Your lens will be such a comfort to them, Thanks so much for making such a beautiful lens. It is very heart-warming.

    Thanks for sharing this beautiful resource, so full of helpful information. I have always struggled with what to say in times of loss. It helps to know that a simple, "I am so sorry" is sufficient.

    Where have you been six years ago?
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Aug 19, 2008 @ 3:57 pm | delete
    25 years ago, I worked in a maternity ward and took care of the parents who had still births. Doctors were just beginning to learn the importance of grieving. A few years before they would whisk dead infants away before the parents could even see them! When I started some of the docs were allowing the mothers to hold them.

    Its come a long way! Much thanks to enlightened doctors like you!

    One of the things I am working on is to make up care packages for parents. I've knitted over 100 hats, but that is only part of it. I think it is vitally important that the life of a baby is recognized.

    Beautiful lens! I love Mommy Please Don't Cry There Are No More Tears In Heaven book. 5 stars. I invite you to visit my Stillborn Loss lens.

    I have just finished reading (for the second time) the book "Born Too Soon" A true story of a child who died in NICU. The author is: Elizabeth Mehren. The book was published back in 1991, but it is an amazing insight into life and struggle in NICU. My heart goes out to all who have lost a child, no matter what age.

    Wow, I just read a list of your many lenses, what an accomplishment!
