 grief recovery June 7, 2010

This is the first kind of book of ever read on grief. It was recommended to me by 3 friends. It is excellent! It covers every point you can think of. How people treat people who are grieving and how the person grieving has been taught to grieve. It is very helpful to do with a partner but you can do it alone.

This book takes you through the grief process gently and kindly. It dispels the myth that there is something wrong with you for being sad. It explains why others are so uncomfortable in your presence. I higly recommend it.

On Jan. 3 2008 my wife and I found out that she was pregnant. We went through all the new parent jitters, preperations, announcements, etc. On. Monday, Aug. 7 2008 she was stillborn(my wife was 37 weeks along).
We went to the hospitol expecting one of the best days of our lives, but as they were checking my wife in, I noticed something uinusual. As they were hooking her up to a monitor(which monitors the heartbeat of the baby, as well as the contractions of the mother. I noticed they were having trouble finding the heartbeat of our baby girl Charity Lynne. So they brought in a sonogram technician who observed the sonogram screen in silence as the screen pointed away from us. As he did so, a couple of nurses came up behind him and also watched in silence. After about a minute the nurses walked over to the nursing station, quietly spoke to the nurses at the station then came back with yet another nurse, and again watched the screen in silence. The technician turned off the sonogram machine hooked up the monitor only for the contractions and one of the nurses took us into a room, smiled and informed us of my wife's doctor's short arrival. I had a horrible feeling something was wrong simply because the monitor for the heartbeat was purposely left not hooked up,(I made sure as to not let onto it as I did not want to upset or stress my wife without knowing anything for sure).
After about 1 hour my wife's doctor came in explaining that she was taking a little longer than expected because she was trying to find the words to tell us that she had some "not so good news", and then she told us she was so sorry to inform us of our baby's death.
That day dragged on minute by minute as the doctors waited for my wife to begin labor, all the while calling loved ones to inform them of the terrible loss, and recieving them into the room as the day krept by.
I wanted to kill myself to escape the pain, but decided it would make things even harder for my wife, so for her alone I decided against it. I also decided as hard a loss as it was for me, it must be so much harder for my wife, so I decided I would "be there" for her and deal with my own feelings/emotions on my own. It was time for me to "Man Up". The hospitol informed us of a grieving classes which they had and that the next one would start in just over 3 weeks. "What a joy, people gathering together in a room to cry and share their feeling. This is going to be fun" was my thought toward it, but my wife wanted to go, and I knew if I was not going to kill myself I had better go as well so I could learn to deal with this. My daughter's death had not been the first loss I had experienced as I had had loved ones die before including my mother, but none had been so painful as losing my only child.
The class taught straight from the book, and it gave me the tools I needed to deal with everything I was going through. To theauthors of this book, I say,"THANK YOU for saving and changing my life for the better". I reccomend this book to anyone who is/has experienced a significant loss, or for anyone who knows someone who is/has experienced a significant loss in their lives.
