Mo(u)rning Joy

"If the raw reality of stillbirth, loss of pregnancy, or miscarriage has rendered you senseless if you feel helpless in friending a grieving family, then you will be touched by the words of care and concern that you can't always think to say at the time. I highly recommend this unabashed account of Kalan Lloyd's journey toward wholeness."-Susanna Fitzgerald, MSW "A cry-laugh, laugh-cry. What makes it so good is how she conveys the terrible sadness and madness of losing a child."-Heath Mueller, M.D., Psychiatry "Kalan's frank, honest expression of her personal experience will bring hope and encouragement to many." -Lisa Nolan, Associate Pastor, Cornerstone Fellowship "Rarely as healthcare providers do we have the opportunity to hear the intimate thoughts and feelings of a patient who has been delivered the most heartbreaking news. This memoir will help us all be better friends, family members, and caregivers to those that have experienced such loss." -Shara Young, M.D., OBGYN
