Mourning Sickness: Stories and Poems About Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss

By Kerry Trautman

Cultural Writing. Poetry. Essays. Memoir. This book weighs less than a pound but it holds the heavy weight of one of life's worst tragedies. In this first-of-its-kind collection, 51 contributors (many of them award-winning writers) share their personal journeys through miscarriage, stillbirth and infant death. The writing is so authentic it will steal your breath. Unpalatable truths are not avoided or tucked out of sight; they are exposed, explored, and embraced on every page in the spirit that cradling each experience in words can be healing to any reader who has suffered the loss of a baby.
