Anyone read "Empty Cradle Broken Heart"??

in TTC After a Loss

In an attempt to really deal with my grief from our loss, I've ordered this book.  I've heard it's really good.  I think I've shoved it aside to quickly & really need to take some time to reflect.  I don't think that means TTA another pregnancy, but I think it'll come back to bite me later if I don't take some more time to reflect of the loss & what it's done to me.

Sorry to be Debbie Downer...

    Please forgive me, seriously, for a minute I thought you were talking about some dreadful Lifetime TV Movie starring Meredith Baxter and Dean Cain or something.

    Okay, now that I am on track. I have not read this, but I'm going to go check it out on Amazon.

    My therapist also recommended "Why Good Things Happen To Bad People," and while I don't agree with all of the conclusions, I thought it was a good book to read while grieving.

    I hope the book has some insights for you!

    Ha, no, not a Lifetime special. I just bought it on Amazon for like $6 with shipping.

    I read some of it in the weeks following my loss.  It found it helpful for the most part.  It's been a little while since I read it, but there were some things that I read in the book that didn't sit well with me... I can't remember though.  I'd also recommend 'Trying Again' by Ann Douglas.  I've been reading it lately and it's for those that are thinking about trying again, trying again, or pregnant after miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.

    Yes, I read it after the loss of my boys and felt that it was helpful. I felt that it summed up some of the feelings that I was not able to identify like morning the loss of my boys but also morning the loss of being a mother to twins. I felt that it was helpful in my situation and hope that you find it helpful too.
