As a young child I grew up knowing my mom had lost her first born, I was her second. He was born premature and she never got a single photo of him. In many ways the grieving process never stopped. Her loss was something my younger brother and I knew and tried to understand for many years. I don’t think there was ever a time that the thought didn’t cross my mind of us never having the chance to meet or get to know our older brother. Every year on his birthday my mom grieves the loss of her baby and it has been over 30 years. It wasn’t until I miscarried my own baby that I began to understood just a tiny bit more how my mom must have felt and I believe having a photo of him might have helped her through her grieving process so many years ago. It is for this reason that I am so honored to participate in such a wonderful organization such as this.

Having the opportunity to help other parents through their own grieving process by providing families a private photo session so that they may cherish those precious moments with their child for a lifetime is something I knew I wanted to do when I first heard of NILMDTS. All bereavement services are available to families suffering infant death, stillbirth or with children in the care of hospice and is offered FREE OF CHARGE.
