Empty Cradle, Broken Heart

Woof. A hard read. I read this for a doula program and it is definitely catered to parents inside the experience of losing a child rather than those supporting them.

That said, there is a great list at the end of every chapter with salient points. The anecdotes from parents were also helpful for me as it gave me perspectives of folks that feel like my potential clients would.

If you are not reading this as a parent who is mourning, and do have a small child, it may be triggering.
