“They say there is no greater pain ~No loss that can compare…the torment when you lose a child -no human heart can bear.No one can just imagine…No one can comprehend ~Unless they lose their own childAnd, then… They’ll understand.You’ll never really breathe as strong ~Your heart will bear a scar…No words can speak the sorrow,And it changes ‘who’ you are.I know my life has meaning ~I try to live each day,I start my morning with your love…and then, … begin to pray.For all of you who’ve lost a child,please know I feel your pain ~and when we see our children;We’ll be ourselves ‘again’.” — Diane Ranker Riesen Physical manifestations of grief How stress plays a role in many health conditions.photo credit: The Weight of Grief Scupture ~ Celeste Roberge Learn more How to Help a Friend Survive the First Year After Pregnancy or Child Loss Read Here Community & Resources of Hope for Women Finding Joy After Pregnancy and Infant Loss Podcast, free resources and gift shop Get Connected Return to Zero: HOPE A non-profit organization engaging a global community of bereaved parents and their health providers to improve mental health outcomes, while also advancing pregnancy and infant loss awareness, education, and support.
