You Were Still 
The Loss of a Child Who Always Stays With You

An authentic account of stillbirth

An account of happiness, pain and starting again: Claudia and Robert Ludwig write about the greatest joy and the worst loss of their lives. When Claudia was 39 weeks pregnant, their son’s heart suddenly stopped beating, and their lives were changed irrevocably. They each reflect with honesty and openness on the period of grief that followed and the ways they found to cope with the unimaginable. They never gave up hope of having another child. A year later, their second child was born. This self-help book shows how love lasts, how to hold onto hope even in the midst of pain, and how joy and grief can coexist.
