    This isn't right in my opinion no parent should have a time table on their grief no matter if the child is a infant or older people all grieve differently and it is not only the parents it is all the family members that are involved because it is not just parents it is also grandparents Aunts and Uncles too so please pass this law not just for Mothers Fathers Grandparents but also add the child that could of been the next congress person think of this what would you do if you had to change places with these people in there time of grief Thank-you

    as a parent who has lost a child , i know how hard and long a struggle it is to get back to a point where a person can deal with life and work. it is only fair that we be given time to come to terms with the loss and not have to worry about getting terminated , just because we are human and love our children!

    WE NEED THIS VERY LAW . WE LOST OUR SON BY SUICIDE 23 YEARS AGO AND IT STILL PAINFUL. WE ARE CHAPTER LEADERS WITH THE BEREAVED PARENTS OF THE USA AND DO SPEAKING ON THE LOSS OF A CHILD BY SUICIDE. THIS IS A VERY MUCH NEEDED LAW. TONY & BERNADETTE MISITA

    This is a must for any parent who has lost a child. This is extremely debilitating and paralyzing.

    As a Dad who has lost a child, I strongly support this measure. The pain sustained in loss of a child canbe devastating. It deserves sanctioned status under FMLA.
