Hi Ellen, I wonder if you have seen the Apostolate of Hannah’s Tears blog. It is a ministry to support the broken hearted who are experiencing grief due to infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, adoption… There are a lot of resources listed on the site. I have met some wonderful people who work hard to help others, through my involvement with this blog.
Sue, I’ve added it to both my blog roll and to this page! Thanks for bringing it to my attention…it looks like a great site! God bless…
Ellen, you are wonderful! Thank you so much for adding the HT site to your list of resources. May God bless you.

Thanks for these resources – they are so important. When my wife went through her miscarriage, it really was the faith of the family as a whole that got us through a very emotional time. And, surprisingly, our 5-year-old daughter was the most positive of all of us, praying constantly for her lost sibling, now in Heaven. Her drawings of our lost child with a little halo gave me strength and made me so proud of my daughter.
