I decided I needed to end 2024 with this book for a reason. This book describes what would be the most memorable moment of my year. In November this year, I found out I was pregnant, and only a little over a week later, I found out I had unfortunately miscarried. That week I was pregnant was both the scariest and happiest week of my life, and the pain off that loss I don't think will ever go away. This book is truly special because these poems have so much emotion and beauty, and really helped me finish my year of reading with remembering something short loved but special.

If you have ever been through loss, this book is very relatable. It is a very lonely, sad, and hard time. This book really validates your feelings.

I lost my baby on New Year's Eve. It's been so rough dealing with the physical and mental aspects of a miscarriage. You always hear that it's common and that other people go through it, but it's so lonely going through it. My mom gave me this book today and I cried the entire time, but it was helpful seeing that another woman has had these same thoughts and feelings and was able to write them on paper. I really loved this book and I'm going to keep it next to me for the next little bit as I go through these milestones that I'll never get with my baby.

The book I never wanted to read. My gut wrenching grief feels seen & heard.

[Brianna Greco · Rating 5 out of 5]

I kept seeing this book on social media and I was hesitant to purchase this book because I knew it would bring out many feelings. But one night, I decided to order from Amazon and I am really glad I did. Roselynn did an amazing job portraying the feelings of what it is like going through a pregnancy loss. I highly recommend this beautiful book of poems to anyone who has had to endure a loss like this.

Some of this poetry really resonated with me, but most of it did not. I feel like I can’t give it an honest rating.

This small collection of poems is helping me grieve when not every single day I know how or what to feel.

[Kate Jardim · Rating 5 out of 5]

The collection I never thought I’d read, until I needed to.

Heart breaking, validating & raw.

When I saw the first ultrasound it looked like a Black Jelly Bean. Nothing in it just a Jelly bean. That was when I knew something was wrong. My next ultrasound was to make sure I had nothing left in me. That was little over 3 months ago. So when this booked popped up as a suggested book I knew it was a sign to buy it. It was very comforting. I cried, and felt so heard. I felt for the author. I felt for all the other women who also bought this book. This was so comforting. I am so grateful for this author. Hearing someone's word who describes what I was feeling. My best friend and I were pregnant at the same time, this was her 2nd my first. She is thriving in her pregnancy. I am so happy for her but I am jealous that she is having a healthy baby when mine stopped growing and died inside of me. This was a very healing read.

this collection of poetry was painful, raw, honest, and so so beautiful to read. I don’t have a lot of words, just a lot of heavy emotions.
I highly encourage anyone who’s lost their baby, or those who know someone who’s lost their baby, to read these words. They perfectly explain the depth of this horrific loss in ways I could never begin to.
Thank you, Brandylynn Snyder for being so vulnerable to share in this grief with us. 🤍

If you have suffered a loss of a baby, this book is such a healing journey. I cried and cried and cried some more, and with each page, my heart was put back together a tiny bit. I’ve never felt so understood, so seen, so loved and held from a simple book of poetry. I needed this book. My heart and soul needed this book. I will cherish this book for the rest of my days as much as I will miss my babies for and ever and then some.

i never knew
a loss so great and true
until i lost you

Such a beautiful collection of poems that articulate the emotional toll of pregnancy loss - the isolation, the grief and the all consuming sense of loss ❤️‍🩹

I wish I wasn’t a part of this club, but deeply loved this book so very much. I relate so much to these words during this season of loss and grief. Our loss and reading this book has helped me get back into writing again, and for that, I am grateful.

[adrienne vasilauskas · Rating 5 out of 5]

it took me so long to read because it was just a sensitive topic at the time of my loss, but this book is truly a masterpiece for those that have to grieve a baby they’ve never met. my heart goes out to all that have to experience it and i encourage mama’s all around to read this to help you heal.

[Jordan Lumpkin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you for writing this beautiful book 💛 it helped me feel not so alone, to know that someone else is feeling the same things I am - and to see the emotions put into words. Life can be so cruel, but your words have provided a sense of comfort during these dark days.
