Books

---

You may find that some are better suited for specific types of loss. Through your grieving, some words may speak to you differently at different times of this path of which upon we were forced. Maybe you will find literature that lets you know that you are not alone or that many feelings, emotions, and thoughts are relatable. I remember reading parts of of books the first year after I lost Micah. I read the sections out of order and sometimes over and over again. There were many times I felt as though I could have written that because that is how I feel and this author put it into words. I hope you all find that in your time with these books. As you may presume, there were many times I had the opposite reaction as well. I felt as though though somethings were not relatable. However, I feel that the benefit in finding those connections has been of great benefit. Here is the list which will of course be adjusted over time. May you find some comfort in these books. 

Love, 

Micah's Mommy.
