Synopsis
In spite of the fact that 1 in every 115 deliveries is a stillborn baby, stillbirth continues to be a taboo subject. In Life Touches Life, Lorraine Ash describes how she met that silence head-on. After a trouble-free pregnancy, her baby was declared dead on what was to be her date of birth. Following a C-section, Ash fought a fever that raged at 104 degrees and almost succumbed to the silent B-strep infection that had killed her daughter. Devastated by the experience, Ash sought solace and perspective in all the old places and found little relief. In this moving account she discusses the inner changes she faced after the stillbirth of her daughter, delves into spiritual questions that shook her soul, and examines the connection between mother and child that transcends separation and death.

06/15/2004: I just finished reading Life Touches Life for the second time. Lorraine Ash's book is a candid and well-written chronicle of her grief over her stillborn daughter. But this story is more than a legacy of loss. Life Touches Life shows the transformation of loss for one human being into a new understanding of life, and how all lives, whether they be long or short, affect all of us in some way. Everyone goes through loss of some kind during their time here on earth, and all who read this book can empathize with Lorraine in their own way. This book is well worth many readings - there is something new to experience and learn on every page. I recommend it highly!
