What happens to babies when they die? Or to young children? What happens to adults born with the mind of a child, or those who from birth had severe brain damage or defects when they die? Perhaps no question cuts quite to the center of all of our lives. I don’t think there is a person alive today, whose life has not been directly affected by the death of a child, or a young relative, or the miscarriage if a friend. How deep is the grief and sorrow borne by countless parents over children taken from them before, during or after pregnancy. Often that grief is accompanied with anger, depression and even a sense of guilt. But above all, there is the anxiety – where are they now?
