I wanted to thank you for the article, "Approaching birth, preparing for death" (July 28). I am the mother of two; one plus an angel, Lilly, who was born at 21 weeks gestation.

The emotions that parents and their families have to deal with when faced with these types of situations are enormous, and that is putting it lightly. Thank you for building awareness that these circumstances exist and exist far more frequently then they are talked about.

Lives are forever changed when an angel is born.
