'Something Happened' by Cathy Blanford

I have looked for many years for a book to share with children about the death of their sibling during pregnancy. Few such books exist. When they do exist, they dance around the subject, calling the baby an angel and such. I cannot recommend those books because, though easier for a child to understand, I do not believe what they are saying.

I have finally found a book I can recommend.

'Something Happened' by Cathy Blanford addresses the death of a baby during pregnancy. It is a beautifully written, plain and easy to understand. I read it standing at my dining room table, mail tossed aside, with tears streaming down my cheeks. Blanford gives suggestions on what to say throughout the book as children may ask additional questions about the loss of their sibling. She also addresses the unasked questions kids may have about death.

This book is a must-have for parents who have additional children suffering with them at the loss of their sibling. It is available on Amazon by clicking the link below.

Our world has changed ...

So those of you who pray, please lift up this man who will soon be leading our country.
