Dear colleagues:

The issue of grief and losing a child has come up several times here on
Lactnet in the context of breastfeeding. I stumbled across an article
today:
http://www.sydneyschild.com.au/articles/parenting/article_whenachilddies
.htm. Though this mother's died at the age of two years and one day, I find
the article holds truths for the loss of any age child, including many
women's experience of prenatal loss. Anyone working with bereaved mothers
would benefit from reading this article.

Sincerely,

Cynthia
