Stillbirthdays

The day your baby is born is very special.  It is a day that you remember, year after year.  While it brings pain and longing, it can also bring a special connection to the reality that you are a mother.

Whether your baby died days before or days after his or her birth, the stillbirthday is a special day.

Man’s main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is. The most important product of his effort is his own personality.
