In all cultures, the midwife's place is on the threshold of life, where intense human emotions, fear, hope, longing, triumph, and incredible physical power-enable a new human being to emerge. Her vocation is unique.

Birth isn't something we suffer but something we actively do and exult in!

Sheila Kitzinger Activist

Empty Cradle, Broken Heart is written with great awareness and sensitivity. Deborah Davis gets it just right.

Sheila Kitzinger Activist

For far too many, pregnancy and birth is still something that happens to them rather than something they set out consciously and joyfully to do themselves

Sheila Kitzinger Activist

In any society, the way a woman gives birth and the kind of care given to her and the baby points as sharply as an arrowhead to the key values of the culture.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

William James Philosopher

I will greet this day with love in my heart. And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness as it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

Og Mandino Author

I learned long ago that loss is not only probable but inevitable. I know what it means to lose everything, to let go of one life and find another. And now I feel, with a strange, deep certainty, that it must be my lot in life to be taught that lesson over and over again.

Christina Baker Kline Novelist

The Christian life is not about pleasing God the finger-shaker and judge. It is not about believing now or being good now for the sake of heaven later. It is about entering a relationship in the present that begins to change everything now. Spirituality is about this process: the opening of the heart to the God who is already here.

Marcus Borg Scholar

That is the nature of hope. We do all we can, and then the Lord stretches forth his hand and touches our lives with light and courage and, most of all, hope.

Dwan J. Young

Some refuse the loan of life to avoid the debt of death.

Otto Rank Psychoanalyst
