Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 33,000 babies are stillborn each year. For the parents who experience this traumatic event, and for familes, friends, and professionals, this book offers understanding, hope, and comfort. Drawing on the moving and eloquent testimony of 350 parents of stillborn babies, it explores such topics as blame, shock, and guilt; seeing, holding, and remembering the baby; the autopsy and funeral; effects on family relationships, including moving and divorce; thoughts of suicide; increased substance abuse; surviving children and subsequent pregnancies; returning to normal; and reaching out to others. An empathic and compassionate book that would have been enhanced by a list of support groups and resource organizations.Nevertheless recommended. Jodith Janes, University Hospitals of Cleveland Lib.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book!, October 17, 2001
By 
Jen Mountney (New Lowell, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
One of the few books totally dedicated to the subject of stillbirth. Many couples who have experienced stillbirth share their pain, emotions, fears, making the necessary arrangements, how they dealt with life afterwards and the next pregnancy. This book shared many statistics on stillbirth and how it affects the family. A very comprehensive book. This book also included information on support groups, giving the reader a chance to understand what is said and done at support group meetings. A great book for those who wonder how they will ever survive the stillbirth of their child.
