"A fantastic movie with very important educational aspects. As a nursing student, I see the importance of how these situations are handled. A positive experience is imperative where as a negative experience resonates with the family forever and lengthens the healing time. I think it should be shown to all student of each discipline."

"I just wanted to let you know that we have just purchased the film for educational purposes and we are very privileged and excited to bring the film to the U.S. We are preparing to show the film as a free screening on our sweet Mollies first birthday to our community. We are also working together with our hospital and many others in our area to show the film to staff and students to raise awareness and educate to better care for and understand bereaved families after the loss of their precious babies. I just wanted to thank you, for giving us this beautiful honest film and also bringing awareness to such a stigmatized taboo subject.”
