Review for "How to Go on Living After the Death of a Baby"

Despite having a wonderfully supportive family, I needed even more comfort after the death of my infant twin daughters. I couldn't understand the emotions I was feeling and I felt so alone even when surrounded by friends and family. This book must be read by every mother who has feelings of desperation and hopelessness. I hope to never have to pass it on to a friend, but if the need arises, I would recommend it positively.

a wonderfully comforting and understanding analysis of loss

a friend lent me this book after i lost a baby @15 weeks in 1994. i was struck by how two men could write a book with such great insight into a loss felt most intensely by women. the authors interviewed women who had experienced loss - either through miscarriage, infant death or stillbirth - and recorded their feelings in a most non-judgmental and sympathetic way.i found the section on doctors particularly illuminating, since the reaction of my own doctor had been less than warm. peppers and knapp theorize that doctors who choose obstetrics as a specialty, especially young ones, are ill-equipped to deal with loss.i have recommended this book to many women and will continue to do so. i applaud the authors for a wonderful source of comfort during a most devastating time
