My next novel is free — the backstory of one of the women from Baby Dust

October 25, 2011 at 1:54 pm · Filed under About Deanna's Book, Baby Dust and tagged: Stella & Dane

My next book is going to be FREE for those who want to read it as I write it. In Baby Dust, you met Stella, who had two first-trimester miscarriages and several rounds of failed IVF. If you’ve read it, you learn Stella and her husband Dane’s devastating secret as to why they can’t adopt.

This new book takes you back to when Stella and Dane meet, and how she stands by him, and gets you all the way through her losses and how she comes to terms with the way her life has gone.

So sign up to read excerpts of the book as I go along. The e-book will be sent to everyone on the email list when it’s done before it goes on sale.

Writing begins next week! I’m so excited to get back to Stella!

Deanna,
I am writing to tell you thank you for your website. As a former L&D/ NICU chaplain, I walked daily with families striving to endure and make sense of their perinatal losses. This was challenging, as I had never been pregnant or lost a child. Yet, I sincerely wanted to help and support them in a genuine way.

Now, as I face the loss of my baby at only 11 weeks gestation, I am one of the moms I tried so hard to support. Thank you for helping this wounded healer.

If you are still maintaining your list of print resources, one book I would encourage you to add is “Miscarriage: Women Sharing from the Heart” by Marie Allen and Shelley Marks. These professionals have both experienced loss and interviewed over 100 women to try to understand how families grieve and heal following a miscarriage. Although it is a bit technical in places, a vast majority of the book is simply candid interviews with mothers of miscarriage. I have cherished it professionally and personally.

Thanks again for your work.
Meridith

Welcome Mothers and Angels!

At this site you will find information and a place to come in your dark and frightened hours. The special features of the site are listed in the next column, as well as topics ranging from causes of miscarriage, to prevention, to when to try again for a new pregnancy.

A Reminder:

The only person who can really tell you what is happening to you is your own doctor, who peers into you with a light and a speculum, who samples your blood or urine, or who presses a sonogram paddle into your belly. If you are in trouble, bleeding, scared, or more depressed than you think you can handle on your own, you must find help. Read and research all you can, but remember that the one-on-one assistance of a real doctor is the only thing that will give you answers that count. If you don't like or trust your doctor, then find one you can.
