I would like to say that our losses occurred in the early nineties. There was absolutely nothing available to help parents. People did not understand. They didn't know how to deal with us. They didn't know how to talk with us.
When we found Empty Cradle two months after the loss of our daughter, we immediately began to get involved by being on the board and helping to run the support group meetings. We wanted to give parents an outlet, as someone they could listen to and who truly understood. I cannot believe that 30 years later, there is still not much support out there for parents who have endured a loss.
