Forever King: Surviving the Loss of my Unborn Child

Trying Again: A Guide to Pregnancy After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Loss
by Ann Douglas, John R. Sussman
This book helped me once I was ready to begin trying again after I lost BJ and Brielle. What I loved are the stories of grief told from different perspectives like dads and relatives and how losing a child impacted the entire family. It gave me the courage to try again and pray that God would grant me the desires of my heart, a baby to bring home from the hospital.

Ballons on the Mailbox: One Mothers Heartbreaking Story of Her Daughters Death
by Chantal Horup
I read this book after I lost BJ, and was so encouraged by this mother's story. She shared and expressed the way I felt during, after, and when I was ready to try again for another child. She inspired me to continue to tell my story and to never forget BJ by remembering and honoring him on his birth and death dates.

The Mourning's Light: Life After Child Loss
by Patricia Sheveland
You never really think of how future children are affected from the loss of a child, but this book tells her families story and the story of other siblings of parents who had children die at young ages. It encouraged me to not parent Super Mighty Max any different because he has Special Needs and a Disability and to love on him more in spite of my grief and pain of his brother and sister in heaven.

Kind Words from the Community
I came into the knowledge of the Sisters In Loss Community after the loss of my son Liam in 2016. Since engaging in the community and being apart of the podcast: I have made multiple connections with other loss moms that has served to assist me through my personal grief journey; have created strategic partnerships with other nonprofit organizations, which provide services to our community of focus (pregnancy loss and infant death); have been able to attend free webinars to assist me in coping during my healing journey; and have gained a host of life-long friends!

This community has helped me realize that I am not alone. Every group or online support I reached out to or went to I never saw “me”. I only saw other races and I was always felt like the Lone Ranger. It opened my eyes to doing more research on us as African American women and being transparent in telling my story and journey. We tend to suffer in silence and your group has truly helped me be more open to others.

I was happy to find a community that I could relate in about a loss and not just hear spiritual responses only.
It’s a safe judgment free space. I feel totally comfortable sharing in the room.

The Sisters in Loss community has been a bright light on my grief journey. 12 years ago, after the loss of my twin sons, Kyle and Kendrick, I didn’t have this level of support in community. Being a loss mom can be isolating and terrifying. I’m thankful for this community as I’ve been able to share my story on the podcast (#65), receive support, and be a source of encouragement to others. Prior to loss, we didn’t seek to be a part of this community, but now that we are, it certainly helps to be seen, heard, understood, and loved for our motherhood.
