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?REPORT COMMENTS

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....REPORT COMMENTS

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.REPORT COMMENTS

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.REPORT COMMENTS
