After a miscarriage, it often feels like nothing will help - nothing will make the pain go away and nothing will bring joy back into your life. While those feelings are valid, there are ways to find hope and healing after a loss. 

​Previously, we have talked about the importance of sharing your story, relying on friends and family members, and even attending support groups. 

There are also printed resources that mothers may find helpful - this blog included!

“Loved Baby - 31 Devotions Helping you Grieve and Cherish Your Child After Pregnancy Loss,” by Sarah Philpott, Ph.D., is a lovely book that you may find helpful in your healing journey. 
Philpott is a wife, mother, and author. She founded the Loved Baby support group and the #HonorAllMoms Mother’s Day movement, according to her author biography. 

​Published in 2017, the book features themed devotions and reflections, each ending with practical ideas and a prayer. The reflections take on different issues and themes surrounding pregnancy loss, like “When your Mind and Body Remind You of Your Loss,” “Celebrating the Baby: Creating Rituals,” and “Dads Hurt Too.”

​The reflections are well-written and personal and the helpful topic-based index allows readers to find the reflection that they need that day. 
We encourage grieving mothers, or those who know one, to use this book as a resource during pregnancy loss.
