Please Visit : Voices From Victims of Grief 
Domain Registration Services I dedicate this page to the growing number of forgotten victims - the sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, and brothers and sisters of inmates in prisons around this country. Through no fault of their own, these innocent victims are instantly thrown into a situation that leaves many of them feeling alone, helpless, hopeless and hated by society. Though family members do not sit behind the bars, they are in an emotional prison house of sorts due to a situation beyond their control. A large segment of society has no compassion for this group of people. The purpose of this page is to provide a gathering place for all the forgotten victims to share their experiences, fears, hopes and dreams with others in the same situation. It is also my hope that those viewers who have never had a loved one in prison, will leave with a new perspective of what it really feels like to 'Do Time With a Loved One'. You may leave here with a new friend!.
