This thoughtful pregnancy and infant loss guided journal gently walks with families through the incredibly difficult experience of losing their child. It offers a variety of helpful prompts designed to assist them in beginning their journey of healing. The journal encourages families to reflect deeply on their grief, while it also explains what grief truly is, how it affects the mind, body and soul, and provides insights into the healing process. Additionally, it explores ways to find hope for the future.

Reading and bereavement journaling can offer comfort by offering insights and perspective on grief and loss. Reading memoirs or self-help books on grief can help you feel less alone in your struggles and provide practical advice on navigating the grieving process.

Whether you choose to write or read, remember that everyone copes with grief differently. It's essential to find what works best for you and to be gentle with yourself as you navigate the healing journey.
