My Sibling Still: for those who've lost a sibling to miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant death

Beautifully written
Perfect for siblings going through this type of loss, especially younger kids who might not fully understand the loss of a sibling they’ve never met. Beautifully written and illustrated. The pictures depict a young boy who has lost a sister, but the text does not use pronouns. There are no religious undertones or talks of heaven if you’re looking for something more neutral. It’s not overly heavy or macabre with the content, messaging encompasses love and hope.

Highly recommended!
This book is perfect for a child who has suffered the loss of a sibling. Our daughter was stillborn and this book helps!! I highly recommend.

A favorite book
We got this when our second son was born after having lost our first at birth. It’s perfect. It definitely makes us cry, but they’re good tears, and I think the book will give our son comfort and understanding as he grows.

Lost my baby two weeks ago and ordered this while I was still at the hospital. Lovely book and my kids at home found comfort in it. It helped them understand their little brother is still their sibling

A sweet book on a tough subject...
I never lost a child through miscarriage or early infant death, but I know many friends and family members who have. What does one say? One offers condolences, walks away and then forgets, these parents (and their children) will always live with their "what ifs." What if this child had been born and been part of our family? What if we had been able to see this precious gift? What if my other child or children had been able to meet his or her sibling?This book makes it clear a precious gift that was lost IS a part of a family, no matter what the circumstances surrounding that loss. A child was conceived. A child was loved. A child was anticipated. Loss does not change any of this. Megan Lacourrege has composed a simple, but exquisite book to share with young children so that they can better understand this reality. Sadly, many adults cannot have this discussion; discussing it has been taboo for too long in our society."And a little child shall lead them" is a gentle theme running through Megan's thoughtful prose. The illustrations by Joshua Wichterich are also exquisite. They appeal to the child in us all, making the story that much more poignant. My Sibling Still obviously came from the remnants of a mother's broken heart. I believe this book will lead to much healing.

Perfect book for siblings who never met their sibling
I searched for the perfect book for my sons (6 and 4) after we lost their sister at 2.5 months. They were never able to meet her because she spent all her days in the NICU. This book is told perfectly in the passed child’s voice describing different situations that may be encountered. It was really hard to find a book for our boys that fit our story until we found this. I will cherish it forever and have already purchased two other copies for our school and friends who also have lost.
