By P. Matthews
Format:Paperback
This exceptional book guides parents through the experience of bereavement, from the initial shock to a time of renewal and coping. Hannah Lothrop, who writes from personal experience, suggests ways that have helped other parents in similar situations and what might help you; she offers ideas that are both comforting and practical. She also provides specific information for caregivers, childbirth educators and support-group members. With empathy and understanding, this book can help parents come to terms with what is often a trauma that is not easily spoken about and enable them to start the important healing process that resolves grief to acceptance. This book fills a void in a difficult and very unsupported subject - a must read for those that who are looking for answers and don't know where to look.

Help, Comfort & Hope after Losing your Baby in Pregnancy or
28 Jan 2000
By Cornelia Kammerichs
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is the best book on the topic of perinatal loss I have read. It is a guide through the grieving process not only for the bereaved parents but also for caretakers, friends and others. This book can help parents make decisions during a time when they may not be able to make decisions or when they not know what their rights and options regarding their precious babies are. It also validates the bereaved parents' feelings, since parents often feel isolated during their grieving process over their child who died before he/she ever lived on this earth. Other parents share their experiences and you realize you are not alone. An exellent book that I will recommend to everybody who has lost a baby or who knows somebody who has lost a baby.

A must-buy for anyone who's lost a baby
2 Feb 2002
By Krista Becker

Format:Paperback
I didn't know what to do with myself when my son died on Jan. 15, 2002. I still am having a huge amount of trouble, but this book is helping me take steps forward even though part of me does not want to. I have purchased many loss books and this one is the best for practical advice. It helps you feel less alone, offers you ideas on what you will go through (all of which you need) but also gives you practical ideas on what to do to help yourself through this horribly difficult time. It is hands down, one of the best books I bought. If you buy only one loss book, buy this one.

Help,comfort, & Hope

I haven't yet finished this book. Losing a child is difficult and I know this first hand and some days I'm not up to reading. I have read a few chapters so far and the stories that are shared are both sad,moving, and comforting. It is a good book to read at a time when you feel so alone in your loss and sadness. It's reassuring to know that others have been in your shoes and made it out to tell about it. I definitely suggest you read this book if you are grieving to loss of your baby. No matter how far along you were when you miscarried or even if the baby passed away after birth. Written very well not clinical or preachy like some self help books.
