Stillborn, Still Loved: Grieving the Loss of an Infant Through Journaling

By Rachel J. Floyd

Whether you find yourself looking at this book after your baby's life was too short, or you are looking to support someone going through the unimaginable pain that is child loss, this journal is for you. With 62 journaling prompts to get you writing, this book can help you sort your thoughts and feelings after devastating loss. It is not a replacemnt for the other support you need after the loss of a baby, but it can hold your hand as you walk through your grief. Because every parent grieves differently, guided journal writing is a useful tool for navigating the phases of mourning in an individualized, private way. Unlike other books on the loss of a child, Stillborn, Still Loved isn't a memoir or collection of other people's stories, and it isn't specific to any one religious or spiritual worldview. Instead it contains 68 guiding questions that you can use to progress through the grieving process, including questions like: What was your baby's name? How was that name chosen? Were you able to hold your baby? If so, what will you remember most about that? What is something that you wish others around you understood? If you have social media, how have you handled those platforms lately? Are you being patient with yourself in your healing process? This journal can be used as a guided diary or workbook, with lines to use to answer prompts. With more pages at the end of the notebook, there is more space to reflect on whatever other things need to be written about for you to process your feelings. It is designed to be a useful, thoughtful gift for those who have experienced the heart wrenching experience of losing an infant or giving birth to a stillborn baby. It is a meaningful gift when there are no other words.
