Summary: A very sensitive and helpful book on infancy death!
Comment: After giving birth to my son and having him die 10 days later, I was so confused as
to what I was supposed to be feeling.
"Empty Cradle, Broken Heart" helped me to understand what I was feeling and made
me realize that I was not alone, and that what I was feeling was normal.
By using quotes from bereaved parents, the reader realizes that they are not alone in their thoughts.
It encourages the reader to examine how they feel and accept their grief.
This book helped me through the saddest and most difficult period of my life.
A copy of the book was lent to me, and I was so impressed by it that I am
purchasing my own copy to refer back to it later in my life.
An excellent gift idea for a close friend or relative who is going through a similar
situatation, or read it yourself to understand how that person is feeling.

Summary: Written for the heart of the bereaved parent
Comment: Deborah Davis did something for me that I needed...she validated my feelings about the entire ordeal my husband and I have gone through. We made the agonizing decision to induce labor to end the pregnancy after our baby was diagnosed with a terminal birth defect. I have been feeling guilt, anger, jealousy, despair, and fear about the future. Deborah Davis touches on all these issues in this book. Interjected throughout are personal testimonies from other parents who have gone through a loss, so it helps to know others have experienced the same feelings. The author also validates the fact that a loss is a loss, no matter if the baby died before birth or after. This is SO important for the reader to be told, I know it was for me.
Nothing will bring back my baby, but this book has helped me throughout my grieving and healing process. I was hesitant about which book(s) to read, but now I know that I won't need to read anything else.

Summary: It helped me heal
Comment: I loved this book! Even though I cried through much of it, it served a useful purpose. After never wanting to have children, I had a revelation that I needed to experience the joys of motherhood. I recently had a miscarriage with my first and much wanted pregnancy. I was a mess. This book helped me get over some of the loss I felt. I still feel sad often but realize that I'm not supposed to "Just get over it, already!" The book was honest, sad, hopeful, real, and made me totally feel like I was not alone in my grief. I am hopeful and anxious to finish this book by reading the chapters about trying again, coping with a subsequent pregnancy and birth, and the other chapters I know one day I will read when I feel ready to embark on the scary but exciting journey of pregnancy. I also feel compelled to share this with anyone who has gone through the death of a child. Thank you Deborah Davis, Ph.D. for the gift of this book!
