I, the undersigned, support The Farley-Kluger Initiative that supports extension of coverage and existing benefits allowed by FMLA to employees that have experienced the death of a child....
It is my opinion that the death of a child is one of the worst experiences that anyone can endure. I find it unacceptable that the death of a child is not included as a protected reason to qualify for the benefits that are set forth in the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993.

My husband, Phil, and I have two children, Philip and Natalie, who are (of course) the great loves of our lives. On February 23rd, 2012, we found out that our son, who had turned 21 the month before, died. It was sudden and unexpected....The essential question, the one that seems without the answer I’m so desperate to find, is, “How do I live in the face of death? How do I make meaning in the aftermath of the unthinkable?” Delete the scoop?

This blog is dedicated to my Maxie. Max was only 9 and a half months when he stopped breathing at daycare. At this point, we believe that Max was taken from us by SIDS. We are devastated by the loss of our most beloved baby boy. Hopefully, this blog will give readers a sense of what a beautiful spirit he was and will help to keep his memory alive.
