This is the first in a series of children's questions about Heaven as it relates to the death of a baby in pregnancy or infancy.
I know that in the babyloss community, it is common to speak of our babies as angels, even as guardian angels, and of ourselves as mommies or daddies of an angel. Books and pictures and popular culture support it, and there is something cute and cherubic and comforting about the idea of our child staying close by and even watching over us. But is it true? And how can we talk about this with our living children so they have a sound, biblical understanding of life after death?
