Lindsey Henke, a newly practicing psychotherapist, discovers she is pregnant with her first child during her honeymoon. Nine months later, on a cold Minnesota night in December 2012, Lindsey goes into labor, only to be told that her baby has no heartbeat upon arrival at the hospital. The stillbirth of her daughter leaves Lindsey grappling with the unbearable agony of losing a child. Unprepared to cope with such deep sorrow, she uses her skills as a therapist to plot her own path through grief. Over the next year and a half, as Lindsey mourns the loss of one child while simultaneously trying to hold space for the joy of expecting another baby, she learns that grief can live side by side with joy. When Skies Are Gray offers a poignant message to any mother who is grieving: Your pain is real. The sharp ache of the grief you feel will soften over time, though your love for the child you lost will always remain. And it's okay to feel that love; it's a mother's love, and like lullabies, a mother's love never dies.
