What is An Empty Cradle, a Full Heart : Reflections for Mothers and Fathers After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, or Infant Death about?

Bereavement after the loss of a baby is often quiet and lonely, writes Christine OKeeffe Lafser, who has twice lost a child to death. There is no wake or funeral, no grave site, no memorial to our babys life or death. . . . Since there are no real memories of our little ones life, people have a hard time comprehending the depth of our love and grief. In these reflections, Lafser offers grieving parents the empathy and courage that can come only from one who has walked the same difficult path. Chris expressed so many of my thoughts and feelings and made me feel so normal. . . . The greatest gift is learning that God does not desert us in our time of need. Linda Davis, Compassionate Friends, after miscarriage and stillbirth The juxtaposition of a Scripture text with each reflection is inspired. Some of the texts are breathtaking in their beauty and appropriateness. This book is a must for anyone who is ever touched by the loss of an infant. Joseph Awad, poet and grieving grandfather This book will be very helpful for parents who are mourning the loss of their child. It will also prove very beneficial to anyone who is ministering to a bereaved parent. Robert N. Craig, O.F.M. Cap., hos
