Description
In Our Baby, Our Love, Our Loss you will share with the Evans family the emotional, physical, and spiritual roller coaster surrounding the loss of their child at the beginning of the fifth month of pregnancy. Kathi shares honestly and from her heart the things that “we did ‘right’ and learned from, as well as the things we did ‘wrong,’ from which we learned even more.”
Kathi understands that for a person who is struggling to “make sense out of the senseless,” it’s not about “right or wrong,” but rather about how to heal from the tragic loss of a baby more gracefully. You’ll find suggestions for Dad, what to say to your other children, how to celebrate your child, and how and when to “move on,” as well as practical tips on everyday things, like rest and nutrition. When all is said and done, it is Evans’s hope that along with the tears, healthy anger, and maybe even a few chuckles, will come healing.
