5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book in journal form, November 12, 2002

This review is from: Early Passage: A Journal for Parents of Premies (Hardcover-spiral)

I purchased this book two years after my premature baby was born. Reading and working through this journal helped my deal with issues relating to my baby's birth and subsequent hospital stay. It is an excellent place to record feelings and emotions that at times are too painful to express in any other way. I highly recommend this book to parents of premature infants.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent support for parents, December 22, 2001

This review is from: Early Passage: A Journal for Parents of Premies (Hardcover-spiral)

Giving birth to a premature baby is an experience that was often not expected, is overwhelming, and introduces parents to a whole new world of hospitals, procedures, and short and long-term complications for their infant. This journal provides parents with a place to structure all of the complicted and often overwhelming feelings brought up by having a premie baby. It highlights common experiences and provides signficant room for parents to journal in response to pertinent questions. It does a nice job of providing the necessary information and structure to help parents cope with their situation.
