Praise for Wintergreen Press Resources"Thank you for your book, Empty Arms, which we were given before our baby was delivered. It gave us the courage to make the hard decision that proved to be the medicine to mend our broken hearts."-- Debbie Crippen "This book was a tremendous inspiration to my patient. I feel you have done a great service to bereaved parents everywhere." "I appreciated Miscarriage. It was easy to read and covered many areas of importance, helping me cope with my miscarriages. More than anything else, I liked the message that no matter what one is feeling, those feelings are valid." "I want to thank you with all my heart for the help that I received through your book. On December 19th, 2003, I had my little Jonathan, and one hour later he died. I identified with your book because it experssed exactly every one of my feelings that I have right now...It was really hard for me, because I tried to find help, someone who went through the same thing, someone who understood my sadness, and could tell me what to do. But I found nothing. Then I found your book. I think it would have been useful for me to read your book before my baby died; but unfortunately, I received it two days later.... I am going to talk with my doctor about how much this book has helped me and I will suggest that they give it to those in need right away to help them make good decisions from the beginning. One more thing, thanks and God bless you." "I had a miscarriage three months ago and it seemed like the emotional pain seemed to be getting worse instead of better, so I decided I needed to do something to start moving on with my life. I began reading your book Empty Arms and had a hard time putting it down.
It was so reassuring to hear that all the feelings I am having are normal and that I am not going crazy. Your book helped me a great deal. The most important thing I learned is that it's okay to have feelings and to express them. I think up to this point I've tried to be strong and tell myself to get on with life and that it was stupid that I was always crying. I now realize that it is okay to cry when I need to. I find that I feel better after I let the feelings out, and now I'm able to move past my moments of sadness easier.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this book to help people like myself. It's nice to know that the other people who have gone through this feel the same feelings. And it's nice to know that someone cares." |
