Format:Hardcover
My first born son was stillborn in 2006 at full term for no discovered reason. The story of Pudding was so familiar, even in its differences from the story of my own cherished son. How she did everything differently in her second pregnancy, the things people said (or didn't) etched in your mind, simple errors too hard to forgive.
Pudding's mother flits between her first and second pregnancy, giving a perspective to the death of Pudding that she herself did not have at the time. Anyone who wishes to understand how it feels to lose your beloved child before even meeting him properly should read this book. Really, it's so poorly understood except by those who have had the misfortune to live it.

What can I say about such a fabulous book to do it justice? How can I impress on you the importance of finding a copy of this book today and dropping everything to read it?
On the surface I can see why you perhaps wouldn't want to read a book about the stillbirth of a child, the repercussions and ripples it sends through the lives of the parents and through the following pregnancy. But you should. Not only is this a good read, it is a book filled with hope and understanding. If (like myself and the author) you have lost a child you will find comfort in how universal your feelings are and the crushing loneliness will ease a little, if only for the duration of the book. If someone you care about has lost a child you should read this, it puts so much into words that you just can't do yourself and will help you understand what is happening to this person you care about who is now grief stricken. If you are lucky enough to have no experience of this of any kind read it anyway. It's a beautifully written, hopeful book that deserves the widest possible audience.

This story needs to be told
I have suffered a loss, and I found this story both helpful and a good read. It shows there is hope there, even a glimmer and that while things will never be the same again, you... Read more
