Lucky the BYRD
The Healing Together Collection brings together the first two books in the Lucky the BYRD series, offering support for both the person experiencing miscarriage and the loved ones walking beside them.
Book One: The Birth of Lucky the BYRD Through a Miscarriage provides comfort, understanding, and reflection for those navigating pregnancy loss, including thoughtful communication prompts to help express emotions when words are hard to find.
Book Two: Standing By Her Side, Through a Miscarriage shares the perspective of a husband learning to support his wife through grief, with reflection and communication prompts designed to strengthen understanding, connection, and compassionate support.
Together, these books offer hope, encouragement, and practical tools for navigating one of life's most difficult experiences... side by side.
Whether you're purchasing them for yourself, your partner, or someone you love, this collection is a reminder that healing is not meant to be walked alone.
Inspired by true events, Lucky the BYRD: Turning the Page follows one woman through miscarriage, emotional numbness, financial upheaval, and the loss of the life she thought she was building. It is a story about grief, identity, and finding a way forward when moving on is not as simple as it sounds.
