18 Other Resources
The three best books I had were "The Well Pregnancy Book," "A midwifes
Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth," and "Preventing Miscarriage: the Good
News."

Well, I don't know if this will be helpful. There is an organization called
Pen Parents, who provide resources and support for all kinds of pregnancy
and subsequent loss. Their address is as follows
Pen Parents
P.O. Box 8738
Reno, NV 89507-8738
1-800-484-1033 code 7332
In their "synopsis" that I recieved, there is a brief description of
several other groups that also provide resource and support. One of them is
called HOPE (Helping Other Parents Endure) and the address is listed as...
C/O Pauline Montague
4833 Straume Ave.
Terrace, BC
V8G 2C8
Canada
The description of HOPE that follows is..." A newsletter by and for parents
who have lost a child through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal
death...."
Another one...
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Center
1421 E. Wayzata Blvd. #30
Wayzata, MN 55391
(612) 473-9372
"The PILC is a non-profit organization offering support, resources, and
education on miscarriage, stillbirth and infant death..."
There are more listed, if you would like me to post them. Am sorry to hear
of your situation. Please keep me posted...I'd like to know if you've found
any help through these sources.

``Coping with Miscarriage''
Unfortunately, I don't have the author's name, and it was a library book,
but I found it very reassuring after my miscarriage.

The best book I found on pregnancy loss was "Ended Beginnings". There are 2
authors, one of which is Cathy Romeo, the other I can't remember now. It
was stronger in terms of positive possabilities for emothional healing than
other books I read.

I have a book on preventing miscarriage that tells stories of women who had
up to 8 miscarriages before giving birth to healthy babies. In case you
care, the name of the book is "Preventing Miscarriage: the Good News." It
details all sorts of things. One thing the book mentioned that I had never
thought of was that sometimes the same problems that make it hard for a
couple to conceive also make it hard for the mother to carry to term. I
found it interesting reading, but sometimes the words that were meant to be
encouraging did not encourage me.
