Loved Baby: Helping you Grieve and Cherish your Child After Pregnancy Loss

Of the dozen books I received after by Hannah was stillborn, this is the one I buy for friends going through infant loss. Loved Baby is a balm to a broken soul.

Quick delivery much appreciated and good read

Christian based mini devotionals for those who have experienced a miscarriage or stillbirth. This book has been the most helpful thing in my healing journey with grief! Therapy tips to cope such as focusing on things you can control, stages of grief, and how to take care of yourself. It includes spiritual tips to let go and align your will to God. At the end of each chapter there is a prayer and little assignments to work on.People were extremely uncomfortable around me after my miscarriage. I felt so isolated and alone. Everyone grieves differently and it's hard to know how to help unless you ask and get specifics. I didn't even know what I needed until a month after it happened.Here is my advice if you know someone who is suffering.- This book is a great gift and has the tools to walk them through grief and strengthen their relationship with God.- Acknowledge the person's loss. A quick hug or hand squeeze is all you need to do to comfort someone if you don't know what to say. I got a shoulder squeeze and an "I love you" from someone in passing 3 months after my miscarriage and it meant the world to me.- You can check on them anytime. It's never too late. It's been 8 months now and I think about it everyday. The pain isn't as raw but the grief doesn't ever fully go away.- If you don't know what to say just say generic phrases like, "I'm sorry for your loss." or "This sucks." or "I'm here if you need anything." Please don't say anything trite. "Everything happens for a reason. At least you already have a child. It was God's will." It's a slap to the face and not comforting even if the statement is true.- Ask them how they would like to be served. What's their love language? (left alone, talk about it, dinner, help with laundry/cleaning, hugs, etc.) Anytime I saw someone I would burst into tears so I wanted to be left alone for months. But I still needed encouragement and appreciated texts and chatting online.)

Gifted this to a dear friend that had a miscarriage.. she said she's really enjoying this book and describes all her feelings she couldn't find words for. Definitely recommend this book.

This is a great book. It really helped me while I was struggling after a miscarriage. It was uplifting and encouraging without being trite or trivial. It helped me process my emotions of sadness and anger, and enabled me to be hopeful for the future.
