Book Description

December 28, 2006

Read how other parents have gotten through the first hour, first day, weeks, months and years after their baby has died.

26 parents who have lost babies to miscarriage, murder, multiple losses, stillbirth, birth defects, SIDS, infant loss, and abortion share intimate details of their experiences.

You'll read from a couple's perspective, a teen mother, a mother of five, moms with no living children, an author, a chaplain's wife, and also experience loss through the eyes of a loving father.

At the back of the book, we provide a list of resources and specific tried and true strategies for overcoming this painful time. Raw, encouraging and joy-filled poems round out the careful selection of stories.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

When our babies died, we often felt alone in our grief. No one seemed to understand and no one really had a similar story of loss. If they did, they rarely spilled the most gut-wrenching of details.

At the hospital, the chaplain usually handed us a book filled with grief steps and maybe half a page was dedicated to a real person's personal story. Through Stolen Angels you'll get 25 full experiences and a detailed self-help section, which guide you through life's greatest tragedy-the death of a child.

You don't have to go it alone.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author


Sharee Moore edited and organized the collection of experiences found in Stolen Angels. Her motivation for writing her own story and then recruiting others to do the same became a passion after her daughter, Elyana, was born still in November 2005.

Less than two years before, she lost two infant sons who were born prematurely. The feeling of being alone was so heavy and real after Elyana died. Her husband was deployed to Iraq, and she only knew one person at their new duty assignment.

After laboring for 33 hours amongst strangers, she couldn't bear the thought of someone else enduring a similar fate ~ alone! Sharee began writing her story of finding hope after tragedy in January 2006 and through Internet searches and word-of-mouth she found the perfect mix of like-minded parents willing to share a bit of hope with others.

More About the Author

My friends would probably describe me as passionate and persuasive. When I do something, whether it is laughing or learning, I throw my whole heart and soul into it. So when all my children died over a three year time period, I knew I'd either die too OR I'd pour what was left of me into making a difference in the lives of others. I worked day and night to write, edit, and recruit others to share their stories of hope after loss. Amazingly, at the end of 9 months I held the finished copy of Stolen Angels in my hands! FINALLY ...I had a baby. I intended for Stolen Angels to be a type of support group in a book, so that at 3 a.m. when you feel broken, confused, or misunderstood, you can read 25 different perspectives that describe how to live after loss. These are not sappy, sad stories of woe! There's hope, wisdom, and advice from everyday people - just like you and me. There's even a self-help section.

Here are a few nuggets you may not know about me ... I love learning about and experimenting with homeopathy and herbs. I think losing my children made me want to live as healthy as possible. I love good flavorful food though. Chocolate and french fries are part of my menu!

I'm studying to be a marital and family therapist and will graduate in June ... this is truly my calling in life. I hope to work with military families and continue my work with hurting parents. Currently, I'm a bereavement counselor and freelance writer.

After 5 years as a childless mother, I now have two beautiful children ages 1 and 3 (as of July 2010). I'm also a devoted helpmeet to my lover and best friend, Henry.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Deeply Moving Book (Invaluable for Loved Ones, Too), January 7, 2011
By 
This review is from: Stolen Angels: 25 Stories of Hope After Pregnancy or Infant Loss (Paperback)
Even those who have not experienced a loss themselves can learn so much from this candid, poignant collection. When my sister's son died, I, like just about everyone else, panicked and said all the wrong things, which I deeply regret and wish I could re-do. It is heartbreaking when a child dies, and people can have a hard time responding in an appropriate way that supports the family. Those are treacherous emotional waters to navigate and this book gave so much invaluable insight into the grieving process. By hearing people talk about their losses, how others responded to their losses, and what was helpful and what wasn't, I learned how to better support my sister and not be so uncomfortable with the topic. It has also helped me be more supportive to others who have experienced pregnancy and infant loss when I learn of it.

Many of the stories talk about faith, which may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was never cloying or overwhelming.

I have recommended this book and the excellent support group blog run by the editor to clients, friends, and colleagues.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Tool for Counseling and Encouraging!, August 15, 2008
By 
This review is from: Stolen Angels: 25 Stories of Hope After Pregnancy or Infant Loss (Paperback)
These stories give you access into the hearts and souls of real people who have been dealt devastating blows but found the strength to overcome. Every hospital chaplain, midwife and obstetrician should have copies of this book on hand to distribute as needed. If you have suffered the loss of a child or if you think you may ever find yourself in the position to comfort someone through their loss, this book is definitely for you. I tip my hat to the brave writers who shared their stories in a much needed effort to heal and encourage others!
