what happens to the baby's soul?

We approached a number of people e.g. ministers, to contribute to this section and found the answer was so vast we couldn't do it justice here. However, if you don't already have a philosophy which includes an answer to this question, we encourage you to find your own. Here is one person's experience:

  As a teenager and young adult, unlike my friends who wanted two children, I thought six would be a good size for a family. Eventually I did have six but miscarried the first three, naming them David, Rose and Elisabeth. Having always believed that human beings have souls that live on after our physical death, I was concerned about my children's souls. However unbidden, a sense of great peace comes over me whenever I think about them, and a feeling that they are in a safe place being well looked after. Lacking a better explanation, I wondered vaguely if this might be heaven as in the Bible. In the years since I have become a Christian and feel it must be, and am delighted that my experience matches what I have since read. Alexandra
