I wrote this e-book for parents who have recently lost a baby after stillbirth. It's short and to the point, listing things you need to know in the first few weeks after your baby dies. It helps with the questions: how long will it hurt? how do I talk about this with my other children? how do I plan a memorial service? and more.

Jane, I'm so sorry about your little girl - but you're right, she is still a part of you, every day. And you are not alone - there are so many of us out here who know what you have been through. Thanks for stopping by. Ginny

Hi everyone. I know this is weird to say but for me its great to know that I am not the only one in this world that has lost a child to Stillborn. In May 1999 I had a beautiful baby girl that died 2 days before i gave birth to her. The doc`s couldnt really say why she did couse the ortopcy couldnt really conclud anything. everything was the way it should be. They could only come up with that she might have had a heart condition and died from a heartact :( This was very hard on me since she was my first child and to help me through the prosses I desided to be apart of her. I held her for 1½ hours to help me understand that this had nothing to do with me. That this was her way of coming to this world and that she knew that I would understand why she choose me to be her mother. So I took lots of pix and filmed her, I areanged her funiral and i even went to pick up her tiny casket. Eventhough she is gone we gave her a name Victoria. She had this most peaceful face u could ever imagen. She looked like an Angel and that she was at peace. After awhile i questioned my self about it and if it was my fault. I had to get some answeers about it. So I had my dad for this. He told me something so wonderful that made me understand the situation about Victoria. His words were, " You are a very strong lady and victoria knew that and thats why she CHOOSE U to be her mother maybe only for a short time on this earth. She new how special you are and that you will understand why she choose you." It took me along time still to really understand what he ment by that. In 2006 i came to understand what my father said to me. Now I cant say what it means for everyone but what it ment for me was I am a strong person and I belive that one day I will see her again. There is still a part of her in me and in her little sister. She still lives amoung us and always will. I see her more then I ever did before and to celerbrate her birthday we go visit her and wish her a happy birthday. Its not easy but it gets better every time. I feel for you all and I understand your pains and fustrations. Pleakeep in mind that there is a reason for why you were choosen by your beautiful children. I know I do. With love Jane

Don't Know if your going to update your book or if you're interested in homeopathy, but I was Given a dose of Lac Canium 200 C and I was much less engorged and uncomfortable than when I nursed my first child.
