Review

Hurting and healing go hand in hand on every page of this courageous collection. --Amy Landa, co-author of LifeLines

Mourning Sickness is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit. --Sunny Schlenger, author of Organizing for the Spirit


Product Description

In this first-of-its-kind collection, 49 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 the experiences in words is healing to any reader who has suffered the loss of a baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning and moving remembrance piece, August 13, 2008
This book is a collection of 49 real-life stories and poems written by mothers, fathers, siblings, and grandparents. All of them centre around a theme - the loss of a child. Works in this book cover miscarriage, multiple miscarriages, late miscarriage, stillbirths and infant loss. Each and every piece is heartfelt and incredibly painful, the sorrow and loss screams out of each and every page.

As someone who has had loss of her own, I related to these stories and felt huge empathy and sympathy for them. It's a heartbreaking work, but if you or someone you care about has had a loss, it's good to know there are others out there who feel how you feel, and that you are not alone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning, October 19, 2008
Mourning Sickness is a collection of essays and poetry addressing the loss of a baby. The emotions of grief are on full, honest display, from silent longing to screams of anguish. Many bereaved families are unable to concentrate enough to read an entire book, making a collection such as this ideal. The cover art is stunning. The selections in this book are a profound testament to the enduring love for a miscarried or stillborn baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended to all mothers who have lost a baby, excellent, September 11, 2009
Great book for help in healing. It has been 1 year since we lost her due to a miscarriage. I think the best thing that has helped me to cope is to read about other mothers and their loss, and this book does provide that no matter the loss. Highly recommended!
