I really did think it was an amazing film, and thank you again for making it.loribethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09272814565916935113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-83830124010106088612008-12-12T17:27:00.000-05:002008-12-12T17:27:00.000-05:00Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to write...Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to write about the film and bring attention to it. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you on the issue of miscarriage and stillbirth (and at the end of the 54 minute version there is a reference to both and stats about miscarriage and stillbirth). It was my intention, in a perfect world, to be able to also illustrate the story of a family dealing directly with miscarriage or stillbirth. <BR/><BR/>There were several angles to pursue, but these were the families who came forward. <BR/><BR/>In editing we realized that viewers needed to identify with the people in the film to feel compassion and understanding of the subject...<BR/><BR/>I hope that people understand that the feelings expressed in the film extend to those who lose a baby in utero (I myself have miscarried).<BR/><BR/>Hopefully this will begin a dialog that allows us all more liberty to speak of loss and hopefully we can expand on these stories.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your thoughts.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>Sheona (director CASL)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3178366214524455884.post-30068722912499816662008-12-12T09:46:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:46:00.000-05:00I am with your dh on this - there was always a sma...I am with your dh on this - there was always a small bit of envy on my part for those who took pictures and held their lost babies, even buried them. I know that sounds horrible - because loss is so devastating and I know that and not something to be envied in any way! There was just so much nothing I ended up with because of the how of my losses - so little tangible proof, nothing to hold onto at all. I was afraid (still afraid?) that if my memory ever failed, they would disappear completely and there would be no bit at all of them anywhere in this world. A part of why my blog is so important to me (even if I haven't written much lately)JuliaShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668995954240697998noreply@blogger.com
