An additional optional “intensive” night is available for both. Each will be presented at Carmel Retreat in Mahwah. For more details, visit the Events & Appearances and Lorraine’s Workshops pages.

- Excerpts from Life Touches Life appear in the 2008 Eighth Edition of OLDS Maternal-Newborn Nursing Women’s Health Across the Lifespan, a Pearson Prentice Hall textbook for nursing students. For the first time, training in perinatal death is part of the core nursing curriculum.
- Lorraine has written the Foreword for Mourning Sarah, an important new consciousness-raising book about a baby who died of Group B Strep, the same bacterium that killed Victoria. This new work, by Theresa Vigour, was released in April by Radcliffe Publishing throughout the United States and United Kingdom.
