ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Our Acknowledgements

We would like to thank the doctor's, midwives and social workers at our hospital, The Royal Hospital For Women.

Special thanks to Megan, for being so caring and chatty with us while on bedrest, and Simone, for taking me outside on my bed for a breath of fresh air one Sunday afternoon. And thanks to Sandy, Christine, Tori, Tess, Nicole etc, for making our life on bedrest a little more bearable and for coming to visit us after Søren died.

Thank you to Danielle, for washing my hair while on bedrest - you really didn't have to do that.

To Bev, thank you for helping me to see that I needed to be there for Søren's baptism and for being with us through all the bad news. I'm really grateful for your support.

Thank you Dr. Ferrel, for crying with us each time you visited us - that means so much to me. Dr. Challis, thank you for taking us on - I hope next time, with your help, we can have a success.

Trish, we don't need to tell you how important your care was to us, I think you already know - you helped us to spend some wonderful gentle moments with Søren. Thank you.

Thank you to all the neonatologist's for trying hard to keep Søren alive. It's a sad job that you have.

Anne, thank you so much for being our advocate and helping us make arrangements for Søren after he died, and for making the clay imprints of Søren's hands and feet. The quilt and clothes you chose for Søren were just beautiful. Thank you to the ladies who made them.

Thanks to Jasna and Clara for doing the face mask of Søren, and the casts of his hands and feet. I love them.

To Joanne at MISS, thank you so much for creating a place for bereaved parents to go for support. You are a very remarkable woman. It's because of you that I found the strength to make this website for Søren. Your site is where I have made friends for life, too many to name here.

To Rebekah at MEND, thank you for your site. Once I started reading, I simply couldn't stop. I started writing to other mother's and was so amazed when they wrote back! My very first friends were made here.

Thank you to Kim, founder of the Infantloss Group, you've become a good friend, and a solid support. I love it when you write, "Lifting you up". And thanks to Paula, founder of the Honored Babies List, for all of your wisdom and generosity.

Thank you, Shioban, at the Shrine of the Holy Innocents. Your kind words and support have helped tremendously.

And thank you to every single one of our family and friends, for offering such strong support and for never, ever making us feel that we should "get over" our losses. This means the world to us. Thank you.
