The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 does not provide time off for the loss of a child. As a grieving father, I invite you all to visit the link below, add your name and help mothers, fathers, siblings have the federal government recognize the time for bereavement. This is apolitical. It helps all of us. Thank you to my friend Pat who invited me to share my story and concerns. I would appreciate it if you would sign and send this link to others.
