in Late Term and Child Loss
After I saw several of you mention reading "An Exact Replica of a Figment of my Imagination," I bought it and read it today.  I found it to be a very cathartic read, and I was wondering if there are any other books out there you've found to be helpful in your loss journey.

    I really liked Empty Cradle Broken Heart.  I thought it was very well written and helpful.  I liked that it wasn't all happy stories about making it through, that really helped to validate all the bad things I am feeling.

    This was listed in the first post..."I will Carry You" by Angie Smith.  AWESOME book.  My husband and I read that one together.
