I'm composing background prototypes for my brother's website A Wreath for Nicholas I intended to have this website DONE.. oh... months ago.

Nicholaswreath.com is/will be a resource/therapeutic/shared experiences website for people dealing with grief over the loss of a Child. It's dedicated to the memory of Nicholas Samuel Cohen (b/d 12/24/03), my baby brother, born too early as a result of an unforseen placental infection, just two weeks shy of lung development. Despite having no lungs, Nicholas survived for almost an entire hour with no assistance while my mother held him, waiting for him to "expire", as the doctors put it.

His strength and my love, as well as being powerless to ease my mother's pain, resulted in the idea for this site, where people coping can get together, share their experiences, post letters to heaven, and light candles for their angels. I hope to have it done by the one year anniversary of his death, Christmas eve.

If anyone wants to submit rescources, give ideas, help, etc. etc. Please contact me by email with Nicholaswreath.com as the subject line.

In the meantime, please help me by leaving usful feedback on the graphics i submit. I want them to portray a positive outlook, so noone is directly reminded of their grief.

Thanks. This is a personal labor of love.

[PS] If anyone knows how to get this piece some extra attention, so maybe I'd get more feedback... I dunno, journal posting maybe? I'd really appreciate it.
