An Empty Cradle, A Full Heart

by Christine O'Keeffe Lafser foreword by Phyllis Tickle

"Bereavement after the loss of a baby is often quiet and lonely," writes Christine O'Keeffe Lafser, who has lost a child to death." There is no wake or funeral, no grave site, no memorial to our baby's life or death...SInce there are no real memories of our little one's life, people have a hard time comprehending the depth of our love and grief." In these reflections, Lafser offers grieving parents the empathy and courage that can come only from one who has walked the same difficult path.
