A Star Fell into My Heart
Thoughts and Insights for Parents of Star Children
Parents of star children (who died before or shortly after their birth) are often confronted with a lack of words. This applies not only to the people around them, but also to themselves. In view of the incomprehensible – the death of a child – all words seem inappropriate and foreign. In this book, parents of star children will find gentle, poetic texts that give a voice to their thoughts and feelings. They express grief and bewilderment, as well as feelings of guilt, but also hope and deep love. This can help parents feel understood, relieved and less alone, enabling them to accept even difficult thoughts. It may also make it possible for them to find their own words for what seems to be unspeakable.
- Beautiful, poetic texts
- Helps readers understand and express their own feelings
