Saying Goodbye: A personal story of baby loss and 90 days of support to walk you through grief Hardcover – International Edition, September 15, 2017

I came across this book a few days after loosing my 4th baby. Apart of me wanted so bad to buy it right away and the other part of me was terrified that if I did it would just make things harder for me. I finally got the courage to order this book a few months later and I wish more than anything I would have done it sooner. But I believe whole heartedly I purchased this book at the right time. I went through my 5th miscarriage a few weeks after I started reading it. This book has absolutely been my saving grace. A life line. I will admit I cried reading it. I cried for myself, for my sweet babies, and I cried for the author. It was hard knowing that others have gone through the exact pain I had been through and was currently going through. I felt like a failure as a mom, wife and as a woman. Reading saying goodbye made me realize that it’s okay for me to grieve for my babies when I need to but it also helped me find the strength to pick myself up. Knowing that she could relate so much to what I was going through and that she described the exact pain and feelings, I felt less alone. I felt like I had someone to turn to. Thank you for writing this book. It has had such an impact on my life and made the absolutely most heartbreaking thing a little bit easier to get through.

This book was such a help to me when our baby died in a tragic miscarriage in the early second trimester. The author and her husband understand what it is like to lose a baby, when it is likely that those around you may not. When you are grieving, it is difficult sometimes to sit down and read a book from start to finish; but the second half of this book is organized into 90 days of support, so you can read as little as a page at a time, if that is what you have the energy for today. It helps validate the feelings of the grieving parents, when it feels like no one else around you can possibly understand. I am thankful to have found this book, as well as the Facebook page for the author's charity of the same name. If you are considering purchasing this book: first, I am sorry for your loss and that you even have a need for this type of book at all, but second, please consider purchasing, because I think any parent grieving the loss of a baby, lost at any age, will find this book supportive to them in their grief.

This book has brought a lot of comfort to me during a season of life I never wanted to experience.

I wish I could find the words to explain how amazing this book has been for my mental health. In January 2018, I got out of a bad relationship, found out I was pregnant, and miscarried within a two week span. Therapy isn't my jam so I spent a lot of time on Pinterest, where I found a lot of quotes by Zoe. I stumbled upon her book and it has healed my soul so much. Nothing in life prepared me for losing a child. However, having someone who experienced this exact same trauma and wrote the words that spoke to what I was feeling before I could even explain it myself was a God send. I truly wish that I could give this more than five stars.

After losing our son to still birth this September, this book was the first I jumped into reading to help me cope. Zoe puts into words all the emotions and feelings we go through in the roller coaster that follows losing a child. Just reading her story of loss makes you feel like you aren't in this alone. I would highly recommend saying goodbye (and her new book the baby loss guide) if you've lost a child (recently or 50 years ago it's just as relevant), or are supporting someone who is going through baby loss.-Rebecca

I wish someone had given me this book in the hospital right after I lost my daughter. I was struggling to wrap my brain around what had happened and trying to figure out how I could survive. When I found this book, it spoke to my soul. Someone had written down exactly how I was feeling. The tips and advice gave me permission to grieve and helped me know I was not alone. I cannot recommend this book strongly enough.

I lost my son during my 2nd trimester, and had a hard time coping with the loss and this book helped me with grieving. Miscarriage is such a hard subject to talk about, and especially with someone who doesn’t understand. It helped having a book written by someone who knows what you’ve been through or going through.

Thank you for sharing your personal story and the way I can relate to my baby loss. It is truly inspiring and uplifting. It is never the same after losing a precious life but I am capable of moving forward to stand tall with a memory in my heart.
