Summary: Simply wonderful author
Comment: This was required reading for a class I took. I was deeply moved by it. She shared her intermost feelings telling about her own grief and her own loss. She was also a guest speaker at this class. Clara Hinton is such a warm and caring person. Even if you haven't suffered the loss of a child this book can help you to help those that did. It made me cry, I truly had felt her loss. She really needs to go on the Oprah show.

Summary: This Book Will Change Your Life
Comment: Nobody can imagine what it is like to have a miscarriage or to lose a child. Friends may try to help you with nice little sayings or with cards, but they just don't understand what you are going through. And that is where this book comes in...
The author has gone through child loss and several miscarriages herself, so she actually knows what a grieving person is feeling. She helps the readers realize that they are not going crazy if they are feeling grief days, weeks, or months after the loss.
Hinton is an authority on this topic of grief and child loss, as can be seen from the thousands of people that visit her website (named after her book) daily for advice and encouragement.
This book has helped me more than I could ever express. As I read the book, I felt like the author was right beside me, encouraging me along the way. Parts of the book are difficult to read - as it brings forth so many painful memories and feelings. However, it helps the healing process so much.
I cannot say enough about this book. It is a MUST READ for anyone - man or woman - that has gone through the loss of a child or a miscarriage. Your only regret after buying this book will be that you didn't buy the book much sooner.

Summary: Lots of Good Information, But Disorganized
Comment: I like many parts of this book and find those sections helpful after having two first-trimester miscarriages within six months. It is obvious Clara Hinton has lived much of what she writes about. However, I do not like, at all, the way the author intermingles miscarriage with all types of child loss. On one level, I can appreciate the approach that losing a child, born or unborn, is devastating. I find it distracting, though, to read a paragraph about miscarriage and then have to skim the next several paragraphs or pages until the next reference. The author also is somewhat repetitive... In addition, Hinton makes ongoing references throughout the book to certain situations by telling the stories a sentence or two at a time. It's maddening. One such instance was her sister, who died at a young age, and the other was the experience of a close family friend who lost a child. I felt like the author was stringing me along, besides the fact it was confusing trying to keep the specific situation straight. Finally, in a fit of frustration, I took a highlighter and re-read/skimmed the book so that I could mark the really very helpful sections that pertained to my situation. Also, the book contains no biography of the author. As a reader you learn, in the same "sentence here, sentence there" manner that she and her husband dealt with multiple miscarriages etc., but do have several living children. Nowhere, however, is this set forth with any clarity.
