It was therapeutic to bring my private memories into the open with others in a supportive community, and to enjoy the fun and good food the day provided. It was a great event. Thanks to the volunteers who made it happen. It was so important to honor friends and family who have died by putting their names on the Children’s Room t-shirt.

]]> Comment on Space Between Breaths by Barbara Clarke http://childrensroom.org/20080819/space-between-breaths-thursday-august-21/#comment-11 Barbara Clarke Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:19:14 +0000 http://childrensroom.org/?p=214#comment-11 WOW! What an amazing piece of work. As a bereaved parent myself, I was so impressed with the way they presented so many stories and viewpoints. So many poignant stories - I did go through several tissues - but the movie takes you with the families on their journey as they come to a different place after their loss. The most surprising thing to me was that I felt energized after the movie. The families were so inspiring. What a gift this movie is to us all! WOW! What an amazing piece of work.
