When people experience a loved one's illness or death, it is important to let them know that they are not alone by reaching out and connecting with them. This is especially true for individuals and families trying to cope with a serious illness of a child, or with the devastating loss of a young loved one.

In this Connecting with Others section, those whose lives have been affected by the flu are able to reach out to one another as well as to many concerned individuals from across the country.
