HERE'S a message from Karen Pasquali Jones:
I'm looking for women in their sixties and seventies who are still grieving for the baby they miscarried years ago. It's for an indepth article I'm writing for a national newspaper on the intense love a mother has for her baby - even when miscarried - years later. I had a miscarriage 10 years ago and still grieve for that lost baby now so I know how devastating it can be. The women need to be named and photographed but I will treat their story with sensitivity and show it to them before publication for approval. If you can help please contact me on pasqualijones[at]btinternet.com Thanks very much.
Why on earth do the women need to be named? "Sensitivity". OK.

Some people are willing to be named in these circumstances and sometimes feel their stories can bring hope, inspiration or comfort to others experiencing something similar. That's why it will be a sensitive piece and there won't be many editors who will agree to someone being anonymous, so journalists have to find people, that's their job. I'm closing comments on this and wish Karen all the best with her piece, as someone used to working at the highest level in journalism, she will have no interest in persuading anyone who doesn't want to be named to take part and will deal with the interviewees with the utmost sensitivity and respect. She has already made it clear she has miscarried so she understands what it's like. I post these requests to help the journalists not as a debating point for those who wish to start a debate or criticise.
