Miscarriage is a significant loss experienced by millions of women and couples each year. Yet because it is so common, and also because it is invisible to others, grieving parents often suffer in silence, without acknowledgement or support.
Miscarriage grief is real and justified. Love plus loss equals grief. If you wanted and loved a baby who was miscarried, of course you grieve. And now you must mourn. The purpose of this book is to help you mourn and heal.
This book will be published in April 2015. Copies will begin shipping mid-March. Any orders containing this book will ship all available books immediately and ship this pre-order later. Please call (970) 226-6050 if you have any questions.
Now instead of sending sympathy cards, you can offer your empathy with these beautiful new cards written by Dr. Wolfelt. Where sympathy is passive pity, empathy strives to actively engage and connect. Sympathy is "feeling for," while empathy is "feeling with." Thank you for joining us in our mission to refashion our culture into one of empathy rather than sympathy after a loss.

In this guide for counselors and caregivers, Dr. Alan Wolfelt reframes PTSD as a form of grief. Helping PTSD sufferers mourn their unacknowledged and “carried” grief over the traumatic events that caused their symptoms is the key to helping them heal. Rather than seeking to quickly treat away symptoms of PTSD, caregivers who follow Dr. Wolfelt’s “companioning” philosophy will instead see the natural and necessary PTSD symptoms as indications that the sufferer needs additional support and encouragement to express himself. This holistic new approach acknowledges clinical PTSD treatments as part of the solution while emphasizing that authentic mourning is the primary and most essential healer.
In days gone by, people mourning the death of someone loved wore black clothing or armbands. This signaled their grief to others and communicated their need for understanding and support. Sadly, such conventions have fallen out of style.
This pin again provides a way for you to communicate your loss.
When someone you love dies, you are torn apart. You face the painful challenge of reconstructing yourself. When others see your pin and ask, “’Under Reconstruction’…what does that mean?”, you will have the healing opportunity to share your story of love and loss and embrace the empathy you are offered in return.
