Remember, review and understand your story of loss

This book is really easy to read. Each chapter tells part of a story, reviews the story and then asks the reader to journal the different emotions they felt throughout the pregnancy, the labour, and the loss. This book will really help the reader to remember what happened and to express their feelings through journalling.*Note* This book is written from a Christian perspective but other than that I really recommend it.

"Good Mourning"

I received a copy of this book from a Physician after suffering two miscarriages. It helped me to heal by hearing about others losses and how to recover and go on. It is a quick read. The author encourages the reader to keep a journal as a part of your recovery and healing. Journal topics are given at the end of each chapter. I have been trying to locate a copy for years and found out it was reprinted in 1998 under a different title. The new title is Silent Cradle: Helping and Understanding in the Time of Pregnancy Loss, the new Publisher is Light and Life Communications. Hopefully this will help others track down this useful book.

Genuine understanding for those suffering a pregnancy loss

The fact that I read this book ten years ago but I am searching to find a copy of it now is a testimony in itself to the genuine comfort and support "Good Mourning" provided. No other book, no other counselor, no other family member offered the complete understanding and first-person knowledge that this author did. A second perspective from the author's sister confirmed to all mothers who have lost a baby that their feelings are normal.If you, or anyone you know has lost a baby, this book is a must.Especially perfect for those who can't express their concern to a mother in mourning.
