Judith Van Praag's Books
Aug.31.1999
Memoir about infant loss, grief and recovery, and the role of creativity during the healing process. The author's baby daughter died during the last five minutes of a natural breech delivery. Once an active member of the Amsterdam art, and theater world, she feels the curtain has come down for good. In Creative Acts of Healing she chronicles her way out of the dark valleys of grief...
Bereaved parents can easily become stuck in the horror and terror of what has happened, bouncing aimlessly as they seek meaning, purpose and a hint of a reason to keep on living. Van Praag has brought us a book of action and a book of love. This fine book, will serve well for individual use, for couples, for friends, for groups and in a therapeutic environment.”
—The Rev. Dr. Richard B. Gilbert BCC, Chaplain at Sherman Hospital
