What Others Are Saying:
"As a bereaved mother and passionate advocate for grievers, Navigating the Unknown When Your Baby Has Died is a must read for any parent facing a future without their baby. It offers much needed insights and practical advice on a topic poorly understood and even less talked about. Amie writes from her heart and experience to lead the way for other parents with honesty, compassion, and hope. I've often said there is no manual to guide us through the death of our child - but now there is! Thank you Amie for creating this invaluable resource."
