1st Breath greatly impacts providing support and resources for bereaved families experiencing Stillbirth. Their advocacy to provide and protect bereaved parents rights continues to have a great impact in our nation. 1st Breath has worked diligently with state legislators to change the verbiage to include and recognize the research on stillbirths successfully. So that those who were not able to take their first breath are never forgotten and implement tools for our future babies.

As a stillbirth mom and advocate, my experience of working with 1st Breath and Pat Flynn has always been a positive one. From the minute I first met Pat 12 years ago, she has been compassionate, empathetic, and kind. I always recommend 1st Breath, because I know that families will be properly cared for. It's a great honor to work with 1st Breath and alongside with Pat on this journey to make stillbirth a maternal health tragedy of the past.

My comment is in relation to Dr. Pat Flynn. I have never suffered the tragedy 1st Breath Inc. addresses but I have some knowledge and feelings of the founder. I attended Mid America Nazarene University with Pat from 2005-2006 and spent a great deal of time studying with her. Pat's loss of a child was a personal inspiration for the life of 1st Breath Inc. and her passion to help heal the hearts of others. She simply wants to help and heal. I know of no finer lady with immeasurable kindness and caring she shares toward others. I highly recommend this organization and the wonderful person gifting these services.

I came across this site while trying to find comfort in the loss of our son earlier this year. When you think you are the only person in the world who has experienced the loss of a child, that nobody understands what you are going through,you come across a site that is everything you are looking for. This site i found to be, wonderful, comforting, undertanding, and now feel like that i am no longer alone.
