A book I have to read

My sister sent me this link today, and I cannot wait to read this book.

Anonymous said...: I just finished this book! It was good, but obviously sad. So much of what she said really resonated with me. I did get a pang of jealousy at first, since she had a healthy baby a year after her son's stillbirth - but I quickly got over that and enjoyed the book. I think she is a great writer.; January 6, 2009 at 12:53 PM

Cradling Song

We cannot care for you the way we wanted, or cradle you or listen to your cry;

but separated as we are by silence, our love will not die.

We cannot watch you growing into childhood, and find a new uniqueness every day;

but special as you would have been among us, forever you still will stay.

So through the mess of anger, grief and tiredness, through tensions which are not yet reconciled,

we give to God the worship of our sorrow and you, our dear child.

Lord, in your arms which cradle all creation we rest and place our baby beyond death

believing that she now, alive in heaven, breathes with your own breath.

By John Bell
