Format:Paperback
I got this book when my daughter was stillborn at 37 weeks. This book helped me make sense of the many emotions I went through. I found the quotes from bereaved parents very moving and they often brought out my tears and in that way helping me to get over the numbness I felt and start grieving. This book doesn't draw from religion which I also found helpful as I am not religious and even less so after my daughter's death.

This book is the best I've read on what grief is like for a mother who has lost a baby. I lost my first child, a son on 19 May 2001 who was full term, and I have read a lot of books on this subject since then. But this book more than any other spoke to me about what grief is like. I kept hearing myself say "Yes, that's what I feel too". The women's stories were so honest and included all perspectives. I particularly liked the section on resolution of grief because it was the first time I've ever understood what that meant and how I would know what it would feel like. I savour this book and re-read it whenever I need reassurance that I'm still normal and that others have been this way before me. It's perfect - read it and you won't regret it!

This book was a great comfort to me when my son was born (stillborn). At the start I read it cover to cover devouring every word written and 6 months on I still read sections of it when I need to. It is very well written covering a large range of grieving emotions that you need to go through to be able to begin to cope with this tragedy.

Empty Cradle Broken Heart
This book is American and written in a very American way with pointers at the end of each chapter. It was all a bit patronizing for me.
