Grief Books

At Baby Bear Foundation, we believe that books can bring comfort, hope, and understanding when words are hard to find. We’ve gathered a collection of meaningful reads for every part of the grief journey.

 

Here you’ll find recommendations for:

• Parents grieving the loss of a baby or child
• Dads walking their own path through grief
• Children processing the loss of a sibling
• Grandparents mourning a grandchild
• Friends and supporters who want to help
• Parents of a rainbow baby

 

Each book was chosen with care, to remind you that you are not alone and that healing is possible, one page at a time.
