5.0 out of 5 stars True comfort for those who grieve!!!, July 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Silent Grief: Miscarriage-Child Loss: Finding Your Way Through the Darkness (Paperback)

I have read this book several times and it has helped me tremendously. I have had 4 losses of my own (still waiting for that litttle one) and can attest how immense the grief is. I have read others books on miscarriage but this is the first one that truly expresses the emotions and thoughts one has as they go through this very difficult time. The author does a great job accurately expressing the different aspects of child loss. What helped me the most was knowing that there were others out there that had the same thoughts I did. There is something about reading other's experiences that helps heals one's heart. Everytime I hear of someone who just had a miscarriage, I run out and buy them this book. It truly offers comfort, insight and hope. God has carried me through so much and He used this book to speak to that part of me that hurt so much! It truly speaks from the heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on child loss, hands down!, March 26, 2001

Holly - See all my reviews

This review is from: Silent Grief: Miscarriage-Child Loss: Finding Your Way Through the Darkness (Paperback)

This book is the best book I've read since I lost my baby five months ago. I read it for the first time right after losing our first child, and parts of it helped me right away and other parts prepared me for what was ahead in the grieving process. I just read it again, and it amazed me at how true everything Clara Hinton wrote was. It is one thing to read about what might happen, but another to read about what has happened, and for it to be so exactly right on. Miscarriage is a big deal, regardless of what anyone will tell you, and you have to let yourself go through the entire grieving process to heal. Clara, through her own tragic experiences as well as through her accounts of countless other parents' tragedies, tells the truth about what to expect and what to do with the feelings and pain that will inevitably come with losing a precious child, no matter the child's age. I absolutely loved this book, and I am ordering another today for a friend who just lost her first baby, too. This book is also a VERY good book for friends and family members who would like to better understand the grief the parents are going through. I'd give this 10 stars if I could!

5.0 out of 5 stars Help with coping with a stolen promise, June 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Silent Grief: Miscarriage-Child Loss: Finding Your Way Through the Darkness (Paperback)

I wish I could give it more than five stars!! A tremendous book on coping with the loss of a child not yet born. This kind of loss is like a stolen promise, the promise of life for another. My own feelings, as a husband have been suppressed to be strong for my wife, this book has help me to greive and return to my God and my wife a whole man. My understanding of why we experienced the loss allowed me not to be bitter toward my Lord, but I was still angry, now the anger has melted away. Clara, thank you for your honesty and transperancy.
