Book Reviews of Empty Cradle, Broken Heart, Revised Edition: Surviving the Death of Your Baby
Book Review: By far the best book on this painful subject
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I lost our first child in May 1996 to stillbirth at term. We were completely devastated, having endured eight years of infertility and numerous miscarriages. I honestly did not know how I was going to go on any longer. A friend of my sister-in-law's had gone through a similar experience about a year earlier and lent me her copy of this book. It was truly the ONLY thing that helped me in those first difficult few weeks and months after losing our baby girl. It helped me so much to understand that the feelings of isolation and despair were normal and part of the grieving process. I eventually returned the book to its owner after buying my own copy, and at Christmastime 1996 purchased 100 copies and donated them in our daughter's name to ou hospital so that anyone who suffered a loss like this would have it right away, when it is needed most.
