Synopsis

Hope and healing for those who suddenly find themselves in the most terrible sort of grief 

For those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a child within the first year, this gentle resource offers:  

• stories of hope and wisdom;


• practical advice and guidance, based on the experience of many;


• comfort and ways to honor and remember.


 

Naming the Child creates a community of love and support for bereaving parents and siblings, written with a light touch and sensitive spirit.

"When I was nineteen weeks pregnant with my second child, Emma, I had a miscarriage. Its impossible to know ahead of time how such an experience will impact you or your marriage. I recognized many of the challenges I faced in Naming the Child. I can say with confidence that this is an amazing resource."
Amy Wilson
lawyer and mother of three
