Enduring Love: Transforming Love is a full length research-based documentary (50 min) which answers the research question, What is the experience of living and transforming with loss for mothers whose babies died? The purpose of this research was to explore the meaning of infant loss with mothers from different backgrounds while piloting the arts-based medium of digital videography. Significant to the mothers' experiences were patterns that emerged in each of their narratives. For instance, the mothers described: the agony of their loss, appreciating the acknowledgement of their child by others, receiving and giving help, personal growth, the importance of mothering children who grieve and mourn, the abiding presence of their deceased baby, creating touchstones, and the acceptance of the death while celebrating a life and the ongoing connections. The use of digital videography enhanced this research by creating an audio visual translation of the research simultaneously with the data collection and multidimensional research analysis.
