Dear Friends,
Tim Nelson (wrote a Guide for Fathers when a baby dies) and I (wrote
Empty Arms) have just finished book Couple Communication After a Baby
Dies (in fact, some of you helped with it).
We are thinking of having a book club or email discussion on the topic
of how couples communicate and grieve after a baby dies. Does anyone
find it confusing or difficult to understand their mate? Wish you knew
what s/he was thinking? We'd love your feedback.
Thanks.
Sherokee Ilse
bereaved mom, author, int'l speaker
Emails sent to
info@1stBreath.org
concerning this book club will be forwarded to Sherokee.
