Couple Communication After a Baby Dies: Differing Perspectives
'Finally, a book for couples...the authors speak from experience, no sugar coating, an honest, and authentic book for bereaved couples. I love it and know that couples will, too! Life, marriage, and relationships are difficult enough under normal circumstances, when a child dies the complexity and conflict of parental feelings are often insurmountable; this book has all the ingredients to help that relationship survive and thrive.' --Pam Magi RN, Perinatal Bereavement Coordinator since 1988'As a father and a husband, men are often overlooked after the loss of a baby. We are often thought of as the ones who must be strong and hide our feelings. This book presents the issues that are seldom talked about-- a father s needs, a husband s needs, and the hardships that can impact a couple s relationship following the loss of a child. This can take a toll on the strongest of marriages and relationships. I appreciate Tim and Sherokee s more than 25 years of experience to help couples through this unthinkable tragedy. It is a must read for any couple suffering through the loss of a son or daughter.' --Ryan Doherty, Porter Ann s dad'Couple Communication After A Baby Diesis a book that is much needed. As I read this book, I found that I could relate to what both Tim and Sherokee thought and felt. Beyond just relating, I learned many powerful lessons in communication. I just wish this book had been around when I was newly bereaved. I see this as a resource that will both bring couples together during a devastating time and also help save marriages.' --Lori Martini, bereaved mother and stillbirth advocate.
