The Significant Life

During the lonely weeks and months following the death of their unborn or newly born child, most parents seek to affirm the existence of their baby. Well-intentioned comments such as, "It's for the best," or ÒYou can have another one,Ó minimize the significance of the lost child and suggest that he or she was irrelevant or replaceable.

The Significant Life seeks to meet the most basic needs of bereaved parents by validating their grief and celebrating the life of their miscarried or stillborn son or daughter.

The Significant Life enables parents to confront their emotions and work toward grief resolution. As the author shares her story of personal loss, she guides the reader toward hope and restoration. Every step of this healing journey commemorates a life that, however brief, has left his or her parents eternally changed.
