Memoirs; Ethical issues: abortion & birth control; Infertility & fertilization; Pregnancy, birth & baby care

Written by those who have been devastated by loss or grief before, during, and after pregnancy, courageously told as only those who have suffered immense tragedy can...

Comfort for the Tears takes you on an emotional journey into the lives of multiple families. Each account of pregnancy and infant loss, fertility struggles, and premature births is honest, raw and real, yet sensitive and compassionate.

That moment I had feared for the past eight weeks became a reality. I vaguely remember hearing the words, ""We have lost a heartbeat."" --Jessica Burdus

Pregnancy is such an innate part of the human experience and occurs so frequently without complication. We hear all the announcements, reveals, and share the excitement with others but we rarely hear the risks, the losses, the pain, and the sadness that can be a part of someone's pregnancy or birth. ―Dani Nix

There was no movement, no heartbeat, no nothing. --Naomi Carpinteri

This collective memoir provides support, guidance, and love through the incredibly hard times of grief. Find healing and solace as you join these parents. Be empowered and strengthened by their stories. Most importantly, learn to hope again.
