The New York Times

I recently saw an article on the NY Times about a woman who had a still born baby.  At the end of the article, the author asked the readers to share their stories and any advice for those about to go through this unthinkable pain.

I responded quickly (we had 1000 things going on) and assumed I would have time to edit my remarks before anything was published.

Much to my surprise I received this email today:

Hello,

My name is Michael Roston and I'm an editor on the Health/Science desk at The New York Times.

We thank you for using your time and no doubt quite a bit of emotional energy to share your insights on stillbirth with Times readers. We have published an expanded collection that includes your submissions on NYTimes.com. It can be read at this link:

Thank you for your patience as we worked to complete and publish this collection. We greatly admire your willingness to share your experiences, and we hope others will find comfort and guidance in what you had to say.

I'm grateful to tell my story (even if it's not perfectly edited)  and I pray that others will benefit from reading it and have peace along their journey.
