Snag The Baby Loss Guide: Practical And Compassionate Support With A Day-by-day Resource To Navigate The Path Of Grief Designed By Zoe Clark-Coates Conveyed As Interactive EBook
wish Id discovered this book sooner, in my earliest stages of grief, I marked up many pages, I will be re reading it for times to come, and recommending it to all those who have dealt with baby loss/infertility, I wish I didn't have to recommend this book to anyone, But sadly loss is a big part of life,
After a late miscarriage in the midst of a global pandemic, I didn't know what to do with the overwhelming grief, This book has been my guide during my darkest moments, my friend, a light in the dark, People shy away from talking about baby loss because it makes them uncomfortable, leaving the one who lost their baby often feeling extremely isolated, lonely and lost, I can't recommend this book enough for everyone who lost a child, and for everyone close to someone who's been through loss, This shouldn't be something anyone has to go through alone, and if by some cruel twist of fate you still find yourself alone in your darkest days, may this book be a helping hand, and help you scramble together the pieces of your broken heart.
I've never in my life been more grateful for a book, A big thank you to Zoe and the Mariposa Trust, This book was given to me in the hospital, In the beginning of this book, there were some black and white views, She had said something to the effect of you are either going to be okay or absolutely devastated, Grief is not black and white, There are inbetweens. As the book went on, it seemed to be more open about different levels of grief and how everyone will process differently, The beginning just threw me off a bit because I didnt feel okay or absolutely devastated, I felt somewhere inbetween, and those inbetweens change throughout the day, Overall, its a good book and its nice to hear other peoples stories, A brilliant book that helps deal with the pain of loss, The author Zoe is holding your hand throughout the book and explains lots of detail around the difficult topic of baby loss, The little daily tasks are really helpful to help you deal with grief, Off to fill in my journal now, I know this book will definitely fix lots of broken hearts, This book has been such a huge help to me after a recent experience of pregnancy loss, I find it really emphatically written whilst always acknowledging there is no right or wrong way to respond, It features many people sharing the experience they had including dad's and partners which we found helped us feel less isolated, It combines medical and emotional information and is well balanced, The journalling section also helped me work through the feelings I was experiencing and whilst there are no magic answers I just found it a fantastic support and highly recommend to anyone who sadly finds themselves in need of it.
Whether youve suffered a loss yourself or someone you love has, this book is unbelievable, It guides you through and helps you feel less alone, less wrong somehow, I liked this book but if I was recommending one of Zoë ClarkCoates over the other I think Saying Goodbye was a better option for me, Such a great aid for anyone that has or is experiencing grief, Best, best, best book on the subject! I snagged the Audible version since it's not out in the U, S. until October. So informative without being overwhelming, Includes the many different kinds of baby loss, Though this book is not as faithfilled as others I have read, I think that does make it able to reach a broader audience, and the author does still mention how crucial her faith was in her own healing.
Zoe makes you feel normal in your grief the good, the bad, and the ugly! and there are months of journaling prompts and tasks to help on your journey.
I will be purchasing the physical copy as soon as it is available here so that I may have this section to work in though she does still read through the prompts in the audiobook.
Thank you, Zoe! Beautiful written and just everything you need to help after a loss, I could relate to so much in this book, finally felt like I wasnt alone through this journey, Amazing book! I've ordered many books on miscarriage right after my tragic late loss, This was the book that spoke to me, Walked alongside me. I'm currently doing the self care program which is in it
and really really like it, If someone suffers a loss, this book is meant to be immediately read, It will provide solace and a safe space to cry, plus I could tell the journaling section would be very helpful,
With that being said, being almost a year post loss this book wasn't as helpful, And I'm not sure I could have managed to read it immediately following my loss, So while it is a very good book, and Zoe is amazing her social media accounts are so helpful I have mixed feelings on it, Loved it. Gave me so much comfort in my dark days of my loss, Although I will try to read books specialised in the kind of loss I went through, I do recommend this for everyone who is grieving a baby and for their family and friends.
Zoe really gets it! She hits the nail on the head throughout this whole book, It was so validating and healing reading her words, I would highly suggest this book to anyone struggling with pregnancy loss, Written by one of the world's leading baby loss support experts, The Baby Loss Guide is designed to help you navigate this complex issue, Whether you have personally encountered loss, or are supporting people through this harrowing time, this book provides practical and compassionate advice, Zoe and her husband Andy have personally faced the loss of five babies, Out of their experiences came the charity The Mariposa Trust more often known by its primary division Saying Goodbye, offering support to thousands of grieving parents and relatives around the world each week.
In her first bestselling book Saying Goodbye Zoe wrote a moving account of their experiences and how they found a way through loss, In The Baby Loss Guide Zoe provides a supportive and practical guide to walk people through their darkest days of suffering and gives them hope for the future.
The first half of the book answers the many questions those who encounter loss ask themselves and others, and until now have resulted in people spending hours exploring the internet to gain answers and insight.
It is interlaced with personal stories from both men and women who have been there, and tackles the many myths, taboos and assumptions around loss, It also provides clear guidance and advice on how to navigate life following your world imploding, such as: How do I return to work How do I know if or when I should try again for more children How do I communicate with my partner about loss The second half of the book offersdays of practical and compassionate support.
Whether someone's loss be recent or historic, this support will be a wonderful gift, and will help the person walk the scary path of grief, Zoe's friendly and down to earth approach means she removes the often over used medical terminology, and this makes The Baby Loss Guide readable, easy to absorb and a vital source of information and help.
