    I recently lost a daughter and there is absolutely nothing more devastating. It is harder than losing a parent and even harder than losing a spouse, both of which I have also endured. Having to go back to work before you are both physically and mentally ready for the challenge is completely unacceptable. I believe that it not only puts the grieving parent at risk, but also their co-workers. I truly hope that no one else has to experience the loss of a child, but realistically we know that it will unfortunately occur.

    Any loss of a child is devastating, but losing a baby during childbirth also leaves the grieving mother with the same physical recovery issues that any new mother would have.

    I lost my son at the age of 37 and there is not enough time in the world to get over this . I can not even imagine having to work at this point in my life . I would probably be a disaster to the public also I definitely support this petition.
