The Good Grief Club: A True Story about the Power of Friendship and French Toast

Imagine the desperation of a mother watching helplessly as her newborn son takes his last breath; the shock and sorrow of delivering a stillborn daughter without a chance to look into her eyes and say hello; the unseen pain of a woman who, losing her baby in miscarriage, silently grieves the child that would have been. Babies aren't supposed to die. Yet nearly one million women will lose a baby every year in the United States, millions more worldwide. The Good Grief Club: A true story about the power of friendship and French toast will speak personally to each one of these heartbroken mothers and the people who care about them in a way that no other book on this subject has.

Written by a bereaved mother, The Good Grief Club is the true story of seven women who discover that their new friendships have the power to heal the pain of losing their babies in miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death. One by one, fate weaves their lives together in the wake of tragedy misunderstood by those around them. Set around support group meetings and restaurant rendezvous, these seven soul sisters find a new normal. Through tears and anger, compassion and laughter, late nights and French toast, the sun slowly emerges from the darkness bringing with it love, hope, and healing as, together, they rebuild their lives.
