The loss of a child is like no other loss. We know eventually we will lose our parents and with them goes part of our past. But to lose a child is to lose our future ? as we dreamed it would be.

She has helped a number of parents who have lost a child cope with their grief through her www.TeddyBearLegacy.com website. Parents register for the ?Legacy? so their friends and family can donate cuddly teddy bears to children in the hospital - in the name of their child. The teddy bears represent the joy and love their child radiated to everyone and now their legacy is shared with children who need to receive it. All those who give and those who receive feel better once this legacy is shared.
