HEALING YOUR GRIEVING HEART AFTER STILLBIRTH; 100 Practical Ideas for Parents and Families, by Alan D. Wolfelt and Raelynn Maloney.

This book is set up like a manual or guide for grieving parents.  It seems ridiculous for me to be reviewing a book about grieving for a stillborn when I personally have not been through that experience.  While I have suffered from recurrent early miscarriage, I would never presume that there is any connection between the two.  Nor does one stillborn labor inform you of what it is like for another.

So I will stick to the facts on this one.

The title states that it contains 100 practical ideas for parents and families.  Each page offers the reader a different step or idea or thought to consider during the grieving process.

While it has been written by two doctors, it does include a lot of information from many families and parents who have been through it all.

It seems like a clear and easy read for those who may not be able to digest more than a page at a time.

Both of these guys are obviously doctors of some kind as they have PhD’s after their names in the book.

These guys specialize in grief.  If you have a friend or family member who is going through the process of surviving a stillborn child, then this seems to be one of the best books.
