A spiritual companion for those grieving
infertility, pregnancy loss, or
stillbirth, bringing solace
from Jewish tradition.
“This book begins where the others
leave off. While the doctors do what they must do, when it is
time for us to wait, or hope, or cry, or sleep, or pray, it is
time for this book. The passages found within are drawn from
the rich pool of spiritual responses that Judaism possesses.
They reach out to us and embolden us to join our voices to the
ancient prayers designed to get us through the
night.”
