A Personal and Jewish Perspective - autographed copy!
by Rabbi Yamin Levy

 

A baby's death upsets the natural order of life. In spite of medical advances, more than one-quarter of all pregnant women will at one time or another experience miscarriage, stillbirth, or death.

 

Rabbi Levy, himself the father of a stillborn baby, expresses a contemporary view of the need for healing the loss of a baby. Rabbi Levy's poignant book is excellent, revealing that while Jewish law may not require mourning a stillborn baby, it doesn't prohibit mourning. In fact, mourning not only validates the sanctity of life, it provides an opportunity for parents to remember and,ultimately, to heal.

 

As someone who traveled this tortuous path Rabbi Levy understands only too well the depth of the pain involved. In addition to helping grieving parents he offers advice to family and friends, suggesting appropriate and effective ways to help those struggling with intense grief.
This should be essential reading for all who care for or know parents experiencing a pregnancy or neonatal loss. You do not have to be Jewish to obtain strength from this book.
