    A Must for Couples Who Have Miscarried or Have Fertility Issues

    "Tears of Sorrow, Seeds of Hope" is a text which I have shared with couples who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth. It is a beautifully written text which is spiritual as well as practical. Ms. Cardin has created a wonderful book which, through ritual and essay, helps those who are trying to start or enlarge their family. She gives inspiration to people who are experiencing the sadness of loss.
