Photographers Give Griving Parents Something To Hold Onto

A few months back in the early Ottawa spring, Veronique, my NILMDTS Area Coordinator an myself were interviewed by the Ottawa Citizen newspaper about our services.  For a moment I have to admit that I started to believe that our article would not come out after all.  It had been so long.

After it came out a couple weeks ago I quickly realized that this was not the type of article you build overnight.  I mean for us we were so excited to have a little bit of exposure.  But then I put myself in the shoes of the writer (who was great by the way).

Putting all of these pieces together, meeting some of the families we helped, listening to their stories, looking at photos of their beautiful angels, sharing some of the most intimate and hardest moments parents can ever go through.  It's heavy stuff.  But he did a beautiful job.

This article, the work of our NILMDTS Ottawa/Gatineau team, I want people to be aware that it is ok to talk about the loss of a child.  A grieving parent will be more grateful to you for acknowledging what happened to them, will be more grateful to you for listening to them, then pretending than nothing happened.

Because no mater how small their little angel was, he or she was already loved and the parents already dreamt of what could have been.
