This book addresses the needs of the couple who are still longing for a baby, but afraid of being hurt again by another loss. Among the many topics covered in this 120-page book are: Why mourn the loss of someone you never knew? How soon should you attempt another pregnancy? What kind of feelings do most women have during another pregnancy? How will older siblings respond to another pregnancy? What are the chances of the same thing happening again? What tests will help assess and promote fetal well-being? If you are familiar with the book When Hello Means Goodbye, this book picks up where that one ends.

The ability to laugh, especially the ability to laugh at ourselves, is a uniquely human characteristic. One of the greatest sources of humor can be religion, for religion offers us an opportunity to laugh at ourselves at our most serious. And Jesus taught us that we shouldn't take ourselves too seriously. "Unless you become like little children," he said, "you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." Author Tom Sheridan begins by discussing the importance of laughter and the relationship of humor to religion before launching into the hilarious jokes.
