    Such an amazing mom. Thank you for this video. We are facing the death of an unborn infant due to anencephaly. She has a brother that's only a year and a half old and 2 cousins ages 2 1/2 and 1 1/2 years old. This will be invaluable to be able to talk with them about what will happen. Bless you and your family.
