Resources

This page is intended to be an on-going list of resources to help others who are going through the grieving process, or facing a terminal diagnosis.  It is a work in progress which will grow as our healing continues.  From time to time, I will post book reviews on my blog as I read through the books in my list.

While I was expecting Jonah, I felt so isolated.  I wanted to read the stories of others who had gone through this.  I wanted to connect with other people who understood what we were going through.  There was not much out there that related to our specific situation.  It wasn't until after Jonah's death that I started to find these resources and get connected to communities of support.  

I hope that you never have to go through what we did.  But if you do, or you know someone who does, here are some resources to help along the way.
