Carrying Them with Us

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“Carrying Them with Us is a treasure, a thoughtful and insightful book for those who have experienced pregnancy or infant loss and also for those who love and care for them. Engelstad and Malotky share the wisdom of their own personal journey of loss following the death of their daughter Erin. The authors offer suggestions and invitations woven with touching and tender stories of their own personal struggles and challenges. They openly and tenderly address common obstacles and validate each person’s unique experience of grief. They invite spiritual reflection and integration as they normalize this painful and intense time. As an ACCE Childbirth Educator for thirty years and as a chaplain working in Maternal Child Health, I see this book as a beautiful resource that will inspire healing and personal growth.”
