Contributor Bio:  Colson, Kim Author Biography: Elizabeth Schoberg became familiar with the effects of grief on a child when her only daughter was stillborn in 1972. Her 6 year old son withdrew from the family and his schoolmates as he struggled to understand why Mommy didn't bring the new baby home. After writing articles on her family's experience with their young son, Elizabeth was asked to contribute to a new book on coping with high risk pregnancy and caring for the preterm infant. "What To Do When Your Baby Is Premature" included a section on the effect of grief on a child. Years later, Elizabeth recognized the need of parents of preemies to open a dialogue with brothers and sisters waiting at home, experiencing uncertainty during a troubling time. "Chirp's Lullaby" was created to bridge the gap between fear and hope; affording parents a place to begin sharing with their children the special care given to their baby in the NICU.
