Small Sparks Of Life

Two miscarriages found Lysanne caught in a no-woman’s land where she felt neither the career woman, nor the mother-to-be. At first, she was determined to solve her own problems until finally she found and accepted help from a local miscarriage support group. There was joy in meeting other women who were experiencing the same feelings of loss, failure, and even hate, and in discovering that here feelings were a normal part of the grieving process. With the realisation that she was not alone came acceptance marking the start of a healing process. No two women experience miscarriage in the same way but Small Sparks of Life faces the same problem in a sympathetic way, not without humility and humour. It will help others to find the courage to face their sadness, and to go on and try again, to reach the climactic joy of birth, which Lysanne so beautifully describes.
