​The Bereaved Optimist's Book Club was created to share book suggestions for and by families who have experienced a stillbirth.   Your unique perspective on these books is valuable! ​​​
Book Jacket Description: When you love someone, you stand by them no matter what happens.
In good times . . .
When you're excited, the world joins with you,
You bounce all about--look, I'm bouncing, too!
In bad times . . . 
When you are sad and troubled with fears,
I hold you close and dry all your tears.
And all the times in between.
When you are high and when you are low, 
I'll be holding your hand . . . and I'll never let go.
Share this beautiful celebration of unconditional love with someone special in your life.
​
Book Type: Children's Picture Book (Not grief specific)

    The Bereaved Optimist

    Heather's long awaited daughter, Charlotte, was stillborn at 38 weeks in October of 2017.   As a lover of language and words, Heather is always looking for books that help her family keep moving forward in this "new normal".  The Bereaved Optimist's Book Club is a place for families who have experienced stillbirth to share and discover books that were meaningful in their healing process. 

    The Bereaved Optimist's Book Club is now a Facebook Group.  Come read and heal with us!
