From the Author
Reasons for the book and some readers' comments.
I decided to write this book in the middle of my second successful pregnancy after several miscarriages. I finally knew the meaning of loneliness, and it made me compassionate. I wanted to tell women who have miscarried that there is someone who shares their sorrow. Miscarriage is about motherhood. It happens to women who want to be mothers. It is tragic because they have planned for and dreamed of their child. Their desire for a child will get them through this and give them the will to try again. I wrote this book to let women who miscarry know they are not alone; to offer them sympathy and support; to explain as clearly as possible the causes of miscarriage; and to give women the information they need to have realistic expectations for their next pregnancy. Many readers have written me sad and wonderful letters about their experiences and what they have gotten from this book. From Pennsylvania, M.G. writes, "My eyes caught your book and I never put it down until I got pregnant again. Your book hit on so many things I was feeling and experiencing such as: friends, family and even my doctor never saying the right things. Your book also helped me to move on and focus on trying to get pregnant again." From Ohio, B.W. writes, "Thank you for such a wonderful gift. You have let me know that everything I am feeling and have felt is natural."
