    I lost two daughters last year, and there would be no way I would have been able to return to work after three days. The loss of a child is one of the most devastating things that could happen to a person, so how could they be able to function properly at work after only three days when they are grieving so deeply?

    In honer of my friend Tracy - who lost her beloved son, Eli. I will never understand what she has been through; but I pray that parents that have to go through this devastation will have the time they need.

    Just can't believe that the death of a child is not included in the FMLA of 1993. Something needs to be changed soon. Famlies that have lost a child no matter how need this time to grieve....

    I lost my daughter in 2005. I am still grieving. For God's sake, twelve weeks of "unpaid" leave is a drop in the bucket. Please, do the right thing, consider revising and amending the FMLA Act of 1993 to include the death of a child.

    My best friend lost her 17 year old son last August. I have seen how hard it is to get on with life after that occurs. Please consider revising and amending the FMLA Act of 1993 to include the death of a child.

    Working at a Funeral Home for the passed 15 years very close to a deceased family members I could never understand how employees or even students go back to work or school without having the time to grief.

    I can't imagine losing a child but know I wouldn't be able to be back at work in 3 days.
