Synopsis

Pregnancy loss can be devastating, regardless of whether it is early or late in pregnancy or in the short period after a baby is born. In many instances, similar emotions are experienced when a couple learns that their fertility treatments were unsuccessful. Here, well-known psychologist Amy Wenzel applies the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy, a thoroughly-researched approach for treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and stress-related disorders, to the experience of reproductive loss. She offers strategies for coping with loss and provides a step-by-step guide to reengaging in life. With warmth and compassion, she helps listeners journey toward healing.

This book is full of suggestions and coping strategies for processing grief. There is a little bit about the why and how of pregnancy loss, but this book is more about acknowledging your grief and dealing with it. I definitely recommend it, and I may reread it in a few months.......more
