Books for Grieving Parents
I Will Carry You
by Angie Smith
After receiving the news that their daughter was "incompatible with life", Angie and her husband decide to continue the pregnancy. This book goes through the various ways they honored their daughter, Audrey Caroline, and celebrated her during the pregnancy and the beautiful two and a half hours they go to spend with her when she was born.
Grieving Dads: To the Brink and Back
by Kelly Farley
A collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, “this terrible, terrible club,” which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale.
The Still Point of the Turning World
by Emily Rapp Black
What does it mean to be a success? To be a good parent? To live a meaningful life? Emily Rapp thought she knew the answers when she was pregnant with her first child. But everything changed when nine-month-old Ronan was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a rare and always-fatal degenerative disorder. He was not expected to live beyond the age of three. Rapp and her husband were forced to re-evaluate everything they thought they knew about parenting and to learn to parent without a future.
