Surely they benefit more if women are made to suffer and if they are subjected to inhumane treatment from ignorant or arrogant psychiatrists. As though being in grief is reason to put a woman on drugs. You're SUPPOSED to be sad after the death of your child, that is not ABNORMAL or PATHOLOGICAL.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this article.Amy Philohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03603483035893239743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-38700679520493412502008-04-10T12:12:00.000-07:002008-04-10T12:12:00.000-07:00Kara- I'm profoundly sorry, and I hope to be there...Kara- I'm profoundly sorry, and I hope to be there by your side, one day, when you receive precious Dakota's recognition he so rightly deserves.Dr. Joanne Cacciatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863060782827061955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-30354141532143585282008-04-10T12:05:00.000-07:002008-04-10T12:05:00.000-07:00As a self-proclaimed feminist, I marched to protec...As a self-proclaimed feminist, I marched to protect choice for ALL women -- ALL their choices. But when I chose to keep my pregnancy and then my baby died, my "sisters" did not come to my side, did not protect my choices. It was dismaying. I've had to completely redefine myself as a person, mother, feminist, partner, woman, everything. I did not just lose my child. I lost the entire context of the life I was living previously. Thank you for doing what you do, Dr. Jo! Your research and heart gave me context again!<BR/>xoxo<BR/>k-Kara Chipoletti Jones of GriefAndCreativity dot comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04110578035201758404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-984330758590198929.post-74889730196878773842008-04-10T07:41:00.000-07:002008-04-10T07:41:00.000-07:00"Unless we remember, we cannot understand."

You are right when you say that you feel sorry for them, because I do. They are missing out on something great. <BR/><BR/>Your blog is beautifully written, and easily understood. Thank you for your wisdom, description and knowledge about your experience with your daughter Cheyenne. You continue to move mountains...<BR/>CherylCheryl Haggardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09100067865954527066noreply@blogger.com
