I’m sorry to all parents who have lost a child. I, myself lost my baby boy in 2003. He only lived for 6 days and words are not enough to describe the pain and the feeling of loss I had at that time - and until now, although it’s not as bad. Congratulations to the success of your book, Fallen Cradle. If I have the time, I will get a copy (if it’s still available)…

[...] Here we have: -a mother that has lost the love of her life, her mother and two brothers. -a father that has lost his wife, two sons and a grandchild. What can Noemi do? Her father has had more than his share of sad events and now she needs to tell him that his six year old grandson has died… “Noemi couldn’t bear to tell you the tragic news because you were already so sick. We were afraid you’d join him in death if you‘d ever find out, knowing how you doted on all your grandchildren. We couldn’t risk telling you because we were not ready to see you go yet.” - Jose Lardizabal’s Legacy And so became the death of her son a Loss Never To Tell. A sad and heartbreaking story but Noemi has used her experience in a positve way. She shares her feelings and experiences with others through her blog, her writings and the Philippine chapter of the Compassionate Friends. [...]

[...] i was watching a morning talkshow on tv this morning. One of their guests was Rita Avila, and she was there to share her experience of losing a son. She had a child who died right after she gave birth. She was depressed, but she was able to move on, and hoped to have a child again. She got pregnant for the second time, but again, seven weeks after the delivery her baby died. I just can’t imagine how painful is this. To lose a child once is already painful, what more if you lose it for the second time? Hay. I admire her. I admire her that despite of this adversity she’s still strong and able to face the world with a smile. God made her really strong. Kung ako yon, baka nabaliw na ako. hehe. One of the audience in that talkshaw talked to her and said she had the same experience, and gave her a book named “Fallen Cradle”. Funny that I just read something about that book from this site and it really touched my heart. :(. I just wish that God will give her another child that will fullfil her dreams of being a mother.

[...] Grief education is still at an infancy stage in the Philippines. I know only one grief educator who she is none other than my friend, Cathy Babao-Guballa. She teaches this course every second semester at the Ateneo College. I don’t think UP Diliman offers this course. There are probably only 3 grief counsellors (bereaved mothers themselves) . Grief resources that is peculiar to the Filipino culture is limited. We have the Fallen Cradle book , stories from 22 bereaved parents as a start. [...]

Cris: I might have met your mom but I just didn’t have time to talk to all of them. I was with the group of Bibi Yu (she’s a member of INA) and got introduced to a few of the mothers.

Bing: Nice of you to drop by. Oh my mistake on Sofia’s anniversary date . I thought it was her angel date. Now what a small world. Yes join us in one of our meetings. They are held every 3rd saturday of the month.
