For Better Or Worse
A handbook for couples whose child has died

by Maribeth Wilder Doerr
Published by Centering Corporation

When my first son was stillborn, my husband and I traveled very different paths in our grief process, both of us alone, uncommunicative, afraid. No one explained to us that we wouled embark upon a long journey of sadness. In fact, we were not even told it was normal to grieve, and it certainly did not occur to us that we would each handle our loss very differently.

For Better Or Worse was written to help strengthen marriages after a child dies. It explores the differences in gender grief, building your relationship after your child dies, how to help each other heal and includes a grief chat. While it’s important to respect your spouse’s needs, it’s also wise to respect your own. You must take care of yourself both physically and emotionally before you can begin to help your partner or your children.
