Originally, this is the name of the book I wrote for David but I decided to make this little film to show some little known facts about stillbirth.
The Silent crusade is supposed to signify the fight parents have to endure in their day to day life to get compassion from their doctors, respect out of a society that doesn't understand, politicians who look at what you did or had to do as an "abortion" and speak negatively (indirectly) about you, and love in a marriage where grief takes on a shape so different for each person that from one statistic I heard something like 60% of parents get divorced after the death of an infant.
It is not a choice to have a stillbirth. These children are wanted by their parents. They are loved dearly and sometimes I think that we forget that love comes in all forms. A picture of your child is priceless but some only have one photo of a child they had to bury and they are all beautiful.
I couldn't pick and choose what information for friends and family of a grieving parent to read because there is so much that is so vital to understand so I reprinted a booklet I made up for friends and posted it to a webpage. Please take a look:

Thanks for this great video. It is truly touching. My sister's baby girl, Lauren Rose was born still on Nov. 30/07 at 38.5 weeks. She had a great pregnancy & found no heartbeat at her regular prenatal visit. The last 2 months have been very difficult for our whole family. I have posted this video on my Facebook page so friends can hopefully try to understand what my sister is going through & maybe by watching your video they can help ease some of her pain & understand stillbirth & the pain
You are a wonderful human being and have helped me to understand the pain that I am experiencing through your videos. My story is unique and I could not begin to tell you what has happened and what I am going through right now. God Bless You. David
Thank you so much for making this video. I do not know where you are from but in Illinois they do not even give a death certificate...as though they don't count. Its sad that so many people really do not know how hard it really is. *kisses* Therese
Your video is so touching. I too lost a son, Mateo in July 2005. I think about him everyday, miss and love him. To all the angels....we love you always. I will never forget him. love mama.....ELG
I am truly honoured that you have attached this video here It is a wonderful video, with a message for the world. No wonder you are so proud of it because i am proud of you for making it :-) xxx hugs xxx
My son was born still on September 1, 2005. I miss him so much. I think about him everyday. It DOES hurt so much to have him forgotten by everyone around us. I know exactly what it feels like to want to crawl in that hole with your baby just to hold him. It seems crazy until you actually bury your own baby - leave them in the ground & walk away - that was the worst. Thanks for the video.
P.S.You may want to fix the spelling mistakes...the errors are distracting.
Payton Ryan was born on August 21, 2007. I miss him so much everyday. I never realized how many people have experienced this horrible thing called stillbirth. I agree with clzachman1, our babies need to be remembered, talked about, and recognized as the beautiful babies that we all wanted so much.
I wish that everyone in the world could see this touching and heart felt tribute. Emi Kate was silently born on Feb. 8th 2007. I thought that I was the only person in the world who had experienced this horrible loss.....until you start talking to people. It amazed me how many people had experienced my pain. It truly is the silent killer no one wants to talk about. Our babies need to be remembered, talked about, and recognized as the beautiful babies that we all wanted.
