This page is dedicated to curating a collection of resources including books we’ve read and love, podcasts that have moved us, and nonprofits that we deeply respect.
Our hope is that this “Healing Compass,” as we like to call it, serves as a guide for parents who have lost a child by offering direction, comfort, and a sense of community in the midst of profound loss.
We are always open to discovering new resources. If you have something meaningful to share that has helped guide you or someone you know through the tragic loss of a child, we warmly invite you to reach out and contribute to our Healing Compass.
Disclaimer: The resources shared on this page—books, podcasts, therapists, and organizations—are ones we’ve personally believe may offer value on the healing journey.

We encourage each individual to explore what feels right for them and to seek professional medical or therapeutic guidance when needed.
