À propos de cet audio

As I continue to assist postpartum parents who are grieving the loss of their child or children, it made me thing of this book, Ghost Belly.  While I have shared my account of losing my daughters, I find it helpful to hear from others as well so I decided to share a short excerpt from one of my favorite books(if you can have a favorite book about child loss).  

This book is Elizabeth Heineman’s personal account of a home birth that goes tragically wrong—ending in a stillbirth—and the harrowing process of grief and questioning that follows. It’s also Heineman’s unexpected tale of the loss of a newborn: before burial, she brings the baby home for overnight stays.
