Good Mourning: Help and Understanding in Time of Pregnancy Loss

I am a grief therapist and I cannot recommend this book highly enough! This is an excellent book on miscarriage - both for mothers who are suffering this intense loss (I've had several miscarriages myself), and for those trying to provide comfort to her.

While the subject matter is not "easy," it is an easy read and quick. The authors, as I do, believe that keeping a journal is key to healing. This slim volume contains journaling tips at the end of each chapter, as well as validation that a mourning mother's feelings are normal and necessary.

This book has been reprinted (1998 I believe) under the name SILENT CRADLE- Help and Understanding in the Time of Pregnancy Loss.
