Carried Within Me

This book features the intimate narratives of bereaved mothers and fathers who have lost an infant, some recently and others who experienced their loss decades ago. Author Joann Cantrell, also a bereaved mother, understands that infant loss is carried within for a lifetime and hopes that by sharing these stories, parents will realize that they are not alone.

The narratives came from contributors who responded to a feature that Cantrell wrote for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that was pubished on International Bereaved Mother's Day, May 7, 2017.
