Product Description

Product Description
Compassion and support from 100 women "Women who miscarry must not and need not be left in emotional isolation. I am pleased that this timely and sensitive reflection on miscarriage is now available to grieving women and to those who are involved in their lives." ––from the Foreword by Richard F. Jones III, MD, FACOG President, The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Based on the authors′ own experiences as well as the shared experiences of women from across the country, Miscarriage: Women Sharing From the Heart is more than a helpful resource. This candid and poignant book helps you understand and work through your deepest feelings and concerns and, most importantly, reassures you that you aren′t alone. The authors offer:
∗ Support, empathy, and a clear path towards healing
∗ The personal stories of 100 women talking about their miscarriage experiences
∗ Interviews with fathers on how they have been affected
∗ Helpful advice for partners, family members, and health care professionals

From the Author
THANK YOU, COUNTLESS READERS WHO HAVE WRITTEN
To the countless number of readers who been generous enough to write and say thank you, Shelly and I thank you for your kind letters. They let us know that our labor was worthwhile and we achieved our goal. We are glad you reaped comfort from us and from the 100 women who contributed to this book. It truly is for you. You're worth it. Blessings, Marie Allen

5.0 out of 5 stars It was like having a therapy session when I read it!, 21 Jun 2000
By annagard@aol.com (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I feel like I am just repeating everyone elses reviews, but they're so right!

I found out I lost my baby 2 wks ago, when i was 10 wks pregnant. I still feel devastated and heart-broken. I didn't need the book to reassure me that it was OK to feel how I do - I don't feel the need to say 'I'm fine' when people ask how I am, when I'm not. It was MY baby, and I will take as long as I feel necessary to come to terms with my loss.

But the book did provid the comfort of hearing other ('real') people go through the same things; the feelings of guilt, despair, failiure. I still feel all of those things and more, and i'm still so sorry...

Although it makes me sad, I find comfort in the knowledge that I'll be with my baby, my sweet angel, one day. But right now i know that there's a star in heaven looking down on me.

Thank you to all those women who really did share "from the heart".

4.0 out of 5 stars A step towards sanity, 23 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Recommended by my miscarriage counsellor, after two miscarriages, this book gave me reassurance that I was not crazy and self-pitying; the feelings I have had have been felt by many other women. The book helped validate all the feelings of guilt, despair, and anger and gave me a sense that I really was not alone in feeling this way. The loss of a baby through miscarriage is a bereavement and needs to be acknowledged this way. Excellent book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helps tremendously in validating feelings of grief & despair, 21 Dec 1999
By emma@catfarm.co.uk (Ipswich, Britain) - See all my reviews
After losing my two babies through miscarriage I found this bok a lifesaver in validating my feelings of grief and despair. If you have suffered a miscarriage and you see the loss as the loss of a life, then I recommend this book. I thank the authors for stopping me think I was crazy for being so sad after I lost my babies. After suffering a miscarriage, most people find very few people who understand their grief, or even their right to grieve, this book understands and validates your feelings of grief. By reading extraxts from lots of different women you realise there are many other women who feel the same way as you do. A truly supportive and helpful book.
