"We are a select group of people that have the unbearable task of saying we have lost a child. To many it is something they think can fade away over time, and we know that just isn't the case. We all mourn our loss in varied ways. To honor my son I tattooed his initials and footprints on my forearm; while you might have your child's footprint or picture on your mantle. Either way our loss is a unique circumstance that none of us had any control of."

Melissa Eshleman said goodbye to her four-day-old infant son, Lucas, on May 20, 2001. For over a year, she didn't know what to do, or where to turn. She read everything she could get her hands on, and talked to several people who had endured a similar loss to find out what helped them the most. She joined several infant loss groups and found that by sharing her story she was healing in the process. Melissa worked together with other parents like herself; those who have suffered the loss of a pregnancy or infant, to create this book of hope and healing.
