Grief: All I need to know I learned while I was born (2nd Ed.)

The author, a Certified Nurse-Midwife, discovered a fascinating truth after the death of her son: the grief experience is actually a spiritual representation of the physical experience of birth descent, flexion, engagement, inner rotation, restitution, and birth. The words describe both transitions. This book offers unique, visual models for grief, comfort for the grieving, and a way to help their friends understand better, how it feels as a treasured life metamorphoses from a "presence" into a story that is carried forever inside the hearts of those who love him.
