[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a baby who died, I was nervous to open this thread and see the reactions. I'm beyond pleasantly surprised to see the empathy and support from the majority of posters. When someone asks me how many children I have or if this is my only (honestly, please stop asking folks this along with if they plan on having children), it's hard to know how to answer in that split second. Sometimes I say yes to protect their feelings/comfort in the conversation. Other times I say, "One living." Typically, the person will say, "I'm so sorry," and I say, "thanks." Then I push the conversation forward. Being a grieving parent means learning this dance and doing some light grief education for basically your whole life. [/quote]
