Capturing a Short Life

Capturing A Short Life is a beautiful and life-affirming documentary about families dealing with infant loss.

I came across this linking from one of my groups on Facebook. Sheona McDonald did this documentary about infant loss. I have not seen the movie just the trailer. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation is going to air it tomorrow night on it The Lens program. From what I have seen she really brings across what it is like to lose a child. To lose the future. The ideal. The hope you have for that child. Some people lose that before birth and some after. The pain is the same no matter when it happens. If you get the CBC where you live or on your satellite I ask you watch. This is not an easy subject anyway you look at it. My hope, my goal is to help people understand it is okay to talk about this subject. It is usually okay to talk to people about their lost child. Silence Helps No One! That is why I talk about Ryan. That is why he is included in albums on my Facebook. He is my son just as much as William and Jake are my sons. Just because he is no longer with us does not diminish that role. Ok off my soapbox. You know me. Gotta run my big mouth.
