Amazon.com Review
Some losses are particularly hard to bear, partly because we have no formal rites to grieve them. Miscarriage marks the death of dreams as surely as it does the death of a baby months before it was due. "We counted our lucky stars and you were it," one woman in this collection writes sadly. Another notes, "You can publicly mourn someone others have met, someone people were expecting, someone who looks like a child. I mourn children who most people never knew about, never expected, who never looked like children." These stories and poems are anguished and touching. Paradoxically, they offer comfort to anyone who has suffered a miscarriage.
Product Description

I'm not alone September 5, 2000
I am so thankful that I found this book! Although no one story exactly matched my experience with my miscarriage, I could relate to portions of almost every story, so that instead of feeling alone and lost I felt comforted, heard and understood. (I was doubly comforted by the fact that many of these women were from my geographical area!) I'm slowly coming to grips with the technical aspects of my miscarriage, but dealing with the emotions has been hard. Reading others' stories has been remarkably healing for me and has encourage me to share my story with others as well. I very highly recommend this book for those struggling with the emotional roller-coaster of miscarriage.

After the loss of my first pregnancy, I found this book. I was touched to my soul by the pain I found mirrored in the stories I read. I felt less lonely and more hopeful afterwards.

A wonderful book to help with your healing July 8, 1999
Having just suffered my first pregnancy loss, I was having a hard time understanding the grieving process. This book was such a wonderful insight for me. It has helped me to turn to poetry, journal writing and talking openly with my spouse. I learned that everyone grieves differently, even though we have all suffered a loss. I will recommend this book to anyone I know who suffers a miscarriage.

This book was very helpful in allowing me to cope with my miscarriage. I have read our books regarding miscarriage that we very technical, leaving me feeling worse about my lose, this book is different. It's stories of grief have been a comfort to me, putting words to my feelings. It has also helped me communicate my feeling to my husband, who didn't quite understand why it's been so hard for me to get over it and just move on. Anyone who has expereinced a miscarrriage should read this book.
