5.2) Coping with loss of a child: Kellie's book recommendations and comments
Lothrop, Hannah. "Help, Comfort and Hope After Losing Your Baby
in Pregnancy or the First Year".
My bible. This was the first book that I read and it really helped
a lot.
The best are the booklets that I was able to order from the
publishers directly (Centering Corporation). All very, very good
booklets.
"When Hello Means Goodbye"
More for pregnancies that are further along but still an excellent
booklet. Our genetics counselor gave us some photocopied
pages and after that I really wanted the whole thing, so I ordered
it.
"Still to Be Born"
About deciding about subsequent pregnancies.
"Healing Together - For Couples Whose Baby Dies"
Was also good, and helped us realzie why we grieved differently.
"When a Baby Dies"
Helps family, friends and medical professionals deal with parents
who've lost a baby.
Two that I thought would help but didn't:
Hayford, Jack. "I'll Hold You In Heaven"
Vredevelt, Pam. "Empty Arms"
Both are very religious and when I read them I felt like if only
I had enough faith, the pain would magically go away. There were
some good Scripture quotes but most I'd already read. These books
made me feel even worse.
