Abstract
- This essay explores the ways women utilize a website devoted to bereaved parents as a means to create a space in culture that allows expression of thoughts and feelings normally constrained by societal expectations. Not only do these women escape such silencing, they build community through interpersonal eloquence, defined here as expression of meaningful messages from the heart. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
