Product Description
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.

Wonderful Book August 27, 2009
Tracy L. Roberts (Glen Ellyn, IL)
On January 17, 2009, I, too, heard the words, 'Your baby has no heartbeat'. I never thought the pain and anguish I felt could truly be put into words so that anyone would ever understand. But Monica has done just that. This book is very well written and, as someone who attends a SHARE group, it has been like having your 'group meeting' between actual meetings. Thank you for sharing your story, and the stories of your friends, with me and all those that read your book!

This book is a good one. This book reminds me of the grief group that I go to (Sharing Parents of Sacramento) and the women that I have met there. These stories and book's about women who have lost a baby...conception through birth are always hard to read, but they are beneficial to those of us who are griefing the death of our babies. I heard those dreaded words on Feb. 23, 2009...."I'm so sorry, but we can't find a heartbeat!!" I lost my daughter that day, Makena Marie Elizabeth Anderson, and it's a day to day challenge. My heart goes out to all of you that need this book, we will never forget our babies.
Beautiful and Healing February 20, 2009

Well written, respectful and healing if you've experienced or are close to someone who has experienced the loss of a baby. Very real, easy to relate to and the humor is much appreciated! Be prepared for tears and keep the tissue handy. Overall such a beautiful story - after losing my baby 3 months ago I searched for help from those who really understand. I am very thankful for this book at this time in my life - one of a kind. Thank you Monica!
A wonderfully written book on a tough subject November 22, 2008

How I wish a book like this had been available a few years ago! When I went through my devastating loss at 25 weeks gestation, the only books available were dry, impersonal books that attempted to explain the grief process and how to get through it. It was hard to get through more than one of those. This book lets you live it through real families and their experiences. It reads like a novel, but it is all true. Even if you have never personally had losses like these, you might someday know someone who will, and this will help you understand what to say - and most importantly, what NOT to say.
Absolutely amazing!! October 24, 2008
Monique (Illinois)
I could not put this book down. I felt like the author was reading my mind. The pain and devastation of losing a baby is indescribable, yet the author described it perfectly. She gave a heartbreaking, honest description of the range of emotions that bereaved parents go through-from the lowest point to having hope for the future. I cried and even laughed out loud in several parts because the situations described were so similar to my own. I especially loved the way she conveyed what she was thinking in different situations. This book is amazing!!! At the end, the reader is left with a sense of hope. I enjoyed reading this book so much, that I donated my copy to my Share group so that others can benefit from it!
