Synopsis

Tens of thousands of women and families every year lose a baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. The statistics are sobering--between 10% and 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage, 1% in stillbirth, and nearly 23,000 babies die before their first birthday--but statistics alone miss the depth of the hurt. Each loss is personal and devastating.No woman is prepared to lose a baby, and caregivers are often unaware of how best to help. In Hope Beyond an Empty Cradle therapist Hallie Scott first shares her own story, as a mother whose only child, Abigail, was stillborn, and then leads you through a healing process that makes space for heartbreak, despair, guilt, questions, and anger. Life is never the same in the wake of the loss, but a new normal is possible.The book will be a welcome resource for families who have lost a child, as well as for those seeking to care for them in their traumatic grief.Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Goodreads review by Samantha on October 15, 2022

Hallie is so honest about her heartbreaking motherhood journey that never resulted in a living child here on Earth. I would recommend to anyone dealing with the questions that arise after baby loss.

For every women who has lost a child through miscarriage or stillbirth, had a friend who has gone or is going through it, this is a must read!
