I can answer that. For me, the sickness benefits were mentioned quite often this morning. I had used the sickness benefits prior to the birth of Quinn because the pregnancy was considered high risk, so I wasn't entitled to that. I believe I'm not the only person who would use those sickness benefits prior to the birth of a child. I know I had used them previously, again, with our most recent birth of a child. The biggest hindrance, I guess, is just as Lee said. There we were on the Monday, just two days after we had laid Quinn to rest, at the Service Canada office, standing in line with everyone else, holding that death certificate, just shaking, not knowing what to do. That was the first time we had to tell the story, and we were telling it very publicly. That's a huge hindrance.
We had family and friends try to call on our behalf, but they needed to hear from us, so that's why we ended up down there.
We looked online. Obviously, our generation looks online automatically, and there was nothing online on the Service Canada website that directed us as to what to do. There was information on what you should do if you lost a parent or you lost your spouse, but not on what you should do if you lost your child.
He spoke this morning about cancelling cards. Quinn was four months old. We had just received her birth certificate and we had just received her health care card, and now we were receiving a death certificate. We got the death certificate way faster, within minutes, versus getting a birth certificate. We kept them both. It's so painful to hold them both in your hands and know that someone else holds that in their hands, not knowing what they're going to do next.
