Re: Books?
I am really sorry for your loss. I have been reading voraciously since my miscarriage two weeks ago. So far, I found To Full Term: A Mother's Triumph Over Miscarriage by Darci Klein to be extremely helpful. A slight warning, though, as I was reading some of the early passages, it was all so fresh and her writing is so vivid that I found myself having a hard time making it through some parts without sobbing. But the story overall is really positive and she's so informative that I found it helpful.
She also really likes and recommends Preventing Miscarriage: The Good News by Jonathan Scher. I've only just started it so can't yet recommend it myself, but so far, so good.
Sending warm thoughts to you.
Google it, here is a site I found: https://pregnancy.about.com/od/pregnancybooksvideos/tp/aa030203a.htm
These ones also sounded good to me (I'm not very religious):
Miscarriage: Women's Experiences and Needs by Christine Moulder
Talking About Miscarriage by Sarah Murphy
The Infertility Diet: Get Pregnant and Prevent Miscarriage by Fern Reiss
And for Daddies:
A Guide for Fathers When a Baby Dies by Tim Nelson
Lucious Lemon
It's fiction, but helped my cry and release some grief
