Let's Start A Book Club | For Miscarriage, Stillbirth or Infant Loss

A Book Club for Grief, Miscarriage, Stillbirth or Infant Loss or those wanting to better help and love their friend walking through Pregnancy or Infant Loss | themorning.com/bookclubThe Morning exists to provide resources and community for those grieving (and for those who love someone who is grieving.) And recently I thought, what better way to provide resources about grief AND community for those grieving than a book club?!An opportunity to learn together about this grief journey.I am so excited to dive into this with you!

What is The Joyful Mourning Book Club?

The Joyful Mourning Book Club is here to provide resources for learning about grief, suffering and healing after the loss of a baby.

We are also here to provide an opportunity for women in a similar season to learn, grow and find healing together.

How The Joyful Mourning Book Club Will Work

  1. A monthly book will be assigned at the first of the month, along with a suggested weekly reading schedule.
  2. Each week we will discuss that week’s reading via a short Facebook Live in The Joyful Mourning Community. (Thursdays at 9am.)
  3. Lastly, at the end of month there will be a re-cap of with a few final thoughts about the book as well as a look forward at the next month’s book selection.

  3. On Social Media, tag @thejoyfulmorning and use the #thejoyfulmourningbookclub on social media to let us know you've joined and to invite a friend along. You can also use the hashtag as you read throughout the month, so we can cheer each other another on!
