WE ALL NEED A LITTLE HELP
TOOLS THAT HELPED US
The following books provided comfort to our family. No book can take away the pain, but they were tremendous in the form of helping us to cope. We never completely get over the grief, but when you have accessible help to provide self-care, it is a key part of the survival process when trying to navigate through your new normal.

We do not recommend purchasing these items ALL at once.
They are useful pieces that have helped us on a bad day over the years since we lost Graham.

You will learn that even the strongest people find out they are stronger than they ever knew they could be. Our angels teach us that FAMILY remains the most important thing and trivial things that once may have bothered us, are not important.
You will find a new appreciation for loyal friendships and will treasure those who stand by you. Sadly, there will be people who are too uncomfortable to stand beside you during this, and that is normal, and it does happen. This is just one of the many reasons why finding strength and comfort in support groups is so helpful, as they understand and get it. They understand that there is no cut-off time where you must stop talking about your angel baby or sharing an angelversary. I have listed the support groups that are now like an extended family community to us.
This site is developed to be a resource as we continue to understand how you’re feeling.
We encourage you to choose what works best for you.
