I've heard so many BLM's talk about this book or that book, and how it has helped them. I think I am in a place now where I am ready to read books on baby loss. I think it will help me at this stage in my grief. So my question is, what baby loss book has helped you or what book would you recommend?
The best one that I've read is Naming the Child...I literally read it in one day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! Do you happen to know who the Author is?
ReplyDeleteSomeone gave me a book called "Mommy, Please Don't Cry" (this is the version I was given: http://www.amazon.com/Mommy-Please-Dont-Linda-Deymaz/dp/1885305451/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1290218948&sr=1-1) It is very sweet, and almost like a children's book. It made my cry, but it was very sweet.
ReplyDeleteDEFINITELY read "I will carry you" by Angie Smith and "A replica of a figment of my imagination" by Elizabeth McCracken - it was SO good. She is an amazing writer!
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies! I will be looking into all of these books. Jessica, I have heard good things about both of those books :)
ReplyDeleteThe books I have read:
ReplyDeleteI'll Hold You In Heaven
Safe in the Arms of God
I Will Carry You
In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me
Waiting with Gabriel
Threads of Hope, Pieces of Joy
Of course there's many more I would like to read but just haven't yet
i would recommend "empty cradle broken heart". i also read the book "the wilderness of grief" that one isn't about baby loss specifically but loss in general. it was a quick read, but was actually pretty good.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ladies! So many books to look into!
ReplyDeleteI second Naming the Child and also Exact Replica, both mentioned above.
ReplyDeleteI also recommend "empty cradle broken heart"... I read that book in a couple days after Genesis died.
