The SIDS Survival Guide: Information and Comfort for Grieving Family and Friends and Professionals Who Seek to Help Them
Horchler, the mother of a baby who died of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), and Morris, a speaker on parenting issues, have compiled an outstanding collection. This book consists of poems, letters, diary entries, and essays written by parents, grandparents, professional counselors, siblings, friends, and babysitters-all of whom discuss their personal experiences in confronting SIDS. After an informational opening chapter, the remaining 17 chapters focus on confronting one's loss and that of loved ones and how to move forward. Whether the subject is dealing with funeral arrangements or "Children Grieving Children," the writing is moving, helpful, and hopeful. This exceptional book will be useful in every library; larger public libraries may want multiple copies.Kay Brodie, Chesapeake Coll., Wye Mills, Md.Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
