I totally agree they need support...but this is a child loss site. I know there are sites out there that support those who have lost spouses. I hope this doesn't sound mean...but I think it should be kept as a child loss support board. Maybe I'm wrong.

While losing a spouse is a terrible thing it is not the same as losing a child. There are other grief support sites for people in that situation. This site was developed as a place of support for parents who lost a child and that is what it should continue as. The more boards we add the farther we get from the original purpose.

I think the people here are kind enough, and understand grief enough, to be able to support someone who has lost a spouse, with out needing a loss of spouse board. I know in the past that we have had others that have lost spouses as well as children....I believe that they have felt the support of both losses....I have to agree that the two types of grief are different, and that having a loss of spouse board distracts from the pourpose of this site.
