A stunning collection of real, heartbreaking, yet hopeful stories written by a community of bereaved parents who courageously share their first year of grief. – Carly Marie Dudley

The death of a baby, whether through miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal loss, or the death of an older child, is the worst experience a parent can endure.

Parents often don't know how – or if – they will survive such an earth-shattering event. Just as each individual’s grief journey is different, so is each parent’s experience.

This book includes twenty-six heart-wrenchingly honest essays by parents who convey their personal challenges and the ways they coped during the first twelve months after losing a child.

This book shows you how to:

• Build resilience in the midst of despair and hopelessness
• Nurture your mind, body, and soul as you grieve
• Discover hope without masking the reality of your pain
• Find ways to live with purpose, not just survive
• Feel supported and know that you are not alone

This book also helps friends and family understand a grieving parent's struggle and how best to provide support.

Let this book be your companion on your grief journey or as you support the bereaved.
