Thank you for vocalizing it, and supporting all the ones who have experienced this grief too.

We never fully get over our loss, don't we. Though this year, I am philosophical about not having Andrew. I tell myself, he made me a writer because he died. Otherwise, I will just be a amateur writer.<br /><br />Many husbands including mine belong to stiff upper lip group, the category that we should accept and move on. I wrote in my book how I wished he continued to attend the Sands meetings.<br /><br />I go to the Sands meetings, and more women attend the meetings than men. Those men who attend, they are very good.The meetings are not just for their wives but for themselves too.Ann, Chen Jie Xue 陈洁雪https://www.blogger.com/profile/04399207312968010460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706566878384047279.post-46820957445019809172011-10-13T13:26:23.536-07:002011-10-13T13:26:23.536-07:00Hi Ann, Glad you were part of the documentary... ...Hi Ann, Glad you were part of the documentary... It's such a worthwhile cause --and people need to be made aware of situations like this which can happen...

I wrote and did some public speaking (mainly for the Foundation for the Study of Infant Death in the UK and for the Alder Centre - a centre for all those affected by the loss of a child at Liverpool's Children's Hospital). I always found it was hardest to get fathers to acknowledge the impact it had had on them. The stiff upper lip of the Britsh combinmed with the macho male attitude to life made it very difficult for them.<br />Please keep up the good work.Scriptor Senexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17795521284516432520noreply@blogger.com
