    It has been over three years since my son died, and I am just now beginning to function on a normal basis. Please pass this amendment.

    A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. But...there is no word for a parent who loses a child, that's how awful the loss is!

    I lost my husband just 3 weeks after FMLA ran out, causing us to lose our health benefits and his life insurance. It was devastating. FMLA rules and regulations need to change!

    My husband and I lost a daughter several years ago. The magnitude of such loss is indescribable and the effects beyond devastating. This change to the FMLA is long overdue.
