Stillbirth & Surfing - a Grief Journey

I came across this video through my connections on Pinterest.  I found it moving for a few different reasons.  First, it is from the babyloss dad's perspective and he gives a brief yet heartfelt narration of his feelings after his daughter was stillborn.  The music & cinematography also moved me.  And finally, as my friend Jackie mentioned, he turned his grief for his child into something tangible, to be out on the waves with her.  Healing through creativity, healing in the ocean....it's beautiful.

To lose a child ... was something that could end one's world. One could never get back to how it was before. The stars went out. The moon disappeared. The birds became silent. - Alexander McCall Smith
