    Please consider that moms are given 12 weeks to recover from having a baby, physically and emotionally. Why would we not afford the same to parents that have lost a child? Grieving is an important part of moving forward and takes time. The last thing a grieving parent should have to worry about is not having a job or being able to take some time away to get back on their feet.

    The last thing a mother or father should have to worry about after losing a child is having to go back to work because they can't afford to take the time away they need to grieve properly.

    We lost our grandson Harrison in 2015 when he was 4 months old. I agree with the Farley-Kluger Initiative. Healing from any loss takes time. I sign this petition in memory of Harrison and to support the grieving families.
