specifically for parents and other family members
who are grieving for a lost child, sibling, or grandchild.
These sites are also geared to how the death occurred,
whether it was SIDS, illness, miscarriage, accident, or homicide.
The list which follows represents a very small sampling
of sites which appealed to me as well as links to people
I believe can be of help in bringing peace of mind.
Please investigate the links on this page,
and the links you will find at each of the websites.
Do your own searches as well.
Each search engine has different sites registered with it.
Keep searching until you find the people and the place that
helps you understand the death of your child,
understand you have no guilt to own,
understand your own life is not over.
You have more life to life,
more love to give.

I will continue to add references to this list
that seem unusually helpful or touching as I come across them.
If you come across sources that you think are especially helpful
and would like to share them, please email me with the
information, or leave it in the guestbook.
Please also let me know if any of the links are broken.
