I started a blog after my first son was stillborn.  I did it to help my family and friends understand my grieving process, even though they lived far away.   It ended up helping me work through my grief.  It connected us and allowed us to have a conversation about things we probably would never have talked about.  I also found it helpful to read blogs from several other parents who had lost children.  The idea that I was not alone in my grief helped my healing process.
