The Time of Tears by Teresa Olsen Ekerhult

The Time of Tears by Teresa Olsen Ekerhult is not a typical book about loss. It feels like sitting beside a grieving mother and quietly listening to her heart. Teresa Olsen Ekerhult writes with raw honesty that makes every page deeply personal and emotionally powerful. From the opening chapters, where she and her husband prepare joyfully for their baby, to the heartbreaking moment they learn their son Kasper has died before birth, the story draws readers into the fragile space between hope and devastation.

What stands out most is how the book confronts the reality of stillbirth without hesitation. Teresa shares both the emotional and medical journey, showing how parents are guided to hold their child, say goodbye, and create meaningful memories even in loss. These moments are painful, yet they become essential for healing and understanding grief. She also emphasizes the importance of empathy and compassionate care, especially when dealing with institutions that often forget the human side of such tragedies.

Yet, this book is not only about sorrow. Over time, grief transforms into strength, compassion, and renewed purpose. Kasper’s memory continues to shape Teresa’s life as a mother, partner, and doctor, deepening her ability to support others facing unimaginable pain. The book reminds us that love does not disappear with death; it simply changes form and continues to live within us.

Overall, The Time of Tears is heartbreaking, yet deeply healing. It is a powerful reflection on resilience, humanity, and the enduring strength of love. I highly recommend this book to parents who have experienced loss, healthcare professionals, counselors, and anyone seeking a deeper understanding of grief and healing.

TEN Questions with Melissa Reeves

1. Can you please introduce yourself and tell us something about your book "And Then I Laughed" Answer:  My name is Melissa and I am a single widow of four young children who are my reason for everything I do. I love being creative and have loved to write since a young age. Introducing myself feels strange right now. I am still in the process of rediscovering who I am in the midst of being a widow and a mother, a journey I think all mothers face. I am much more interested in the company I keep than where I want to be. It doesn't matter where I go, as long as I am around people I love. I spent many years traveling, being very mobile and sometimes homeless so I enjoy my little house and the stability and coziness it gives my family. Maybe one day I will be open to exploring again, but for now I am enjoying the calm of four walls.  2. When did you get the thoughts of writing this book?  Answer:  This book, And Then I Laughed, is the cul...
