    The time of healing will never end, however, being able to start it with family and friends at home is so very important. I know because my daughter lost her baby boy to SIDS. Her leave of absence was crucial and it was a blessing that she worked for such a wonderful company. Thank you.

    A child is precious gift of life and to any parents losing that gift is difficult enough without having to worry about their jobs. I hope and pray with all my might that this legislation passes.

    We have had two children die. I was not working, but it was darn near impossible for my husband to return to work after the standard paltry 3 days' bereavement leave and his performance suffered and he was reprimanded for it. By allowing the bereaved proper time to even wrap their head around what has happened, it will lead to a more productive employee in the end.

    This is one of the most difficult deaths to recover from and allowing 12 weeks for grieving is extremely important. I hope it passes.
