 Some good information June 9, 2009
Anonymously Me (USA)
I found this book to be helpful during one of my hardest times (following the loss of a pregnancy). It provided some good information and has a Christian perspective. It also deals with what your spouse is going through. I would recommend this book; however, I would do so second to Pam Vredevelt's "Empty Arms", as it best helped me to move past the grief I was dealing with. In summary: a lot of good information but I would recommend reading it in combination with the aforementioned book.

This book would be VERY helpful for those, like myself, who have suffered one or multiple miscarriages. It lets you know that you are not alone and affirms the physical and emotional aspects you may be experiencing after a miscarriage. I also highly recommend this book for those who know people who have had a miscarriage, but never had one themselves. It is a great resource for husbands, as well. This books helps you understand, to some degree, what someone who has had a miscarriage is experiencing physically and emotionally and may help you support your friend or loved one.

This is a most empathatic book on this type of loss. The Christian perspective is most reassuring. The author has done a wonderful job with this book. I first purchased it after my own loss through miscarriage over 20 years ago. I now keep copies on hand to share with others experiencing the loss of a pregnancy.

This book is written from a Christian perspective, but it isn't so "preachy" that people of other faiths or beliefs couldn't benefit from it. The book holds a special place in my heart since it helped me grieve myself, and I have given it out to friends and relatives and recommended it to patients. I have gotten much positive feedback from the recipients. One of the main strengths of this book is that it deals very well with the issue of early pregnancy loss, as well as late-term and infant death. Other books sometimes give early miscarriage little to no attention, and in my own experience, until I found this book, I didn't feel validated or supported about the issues of my early losses. This book makes it clear that no matter the stage of pregnancy, it is ok and right to grieve about your loss. It helps clear up myths about pregnancy loss, and also helps deal with issues that can interfere with normal, necessary grieving processes. I have read similar books, and got some help from them, but some of them were so focused on telling the story of someone else and how they dealt with their loss that they made me feel even worse. This book is set up into fairly short chapters, with titles, and it makes it easy to pick and choose what you want to read so you can skip chapters that you don't feel apply to you. I can't say enough about this invaluable book. I personally am very grateful to the author for writing this very helpful book and I try to keep at least one copy on hand to give out to people who are going through pregnancy loss. It can be a little difficult to find this book in bookstores, and it is one that is sometimes needed unexpectedly, so it is worth it to me to have one available just in case I want to reach out to help someone going through what I did.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK January 20, 2000

After loosing my first baby to miscarriage recently I borrowed this book and I hightly recommend it to anyone in a similar situation. Society tends to underestimate the emotional devistation and grief experienced after the loss of a baby to miscarriage or stillbirth. The author confirms and explains why in fact we are "FREE TO GRIEVE".
