"The tumultuous feelings that accompany pregnancy loss are hard to describe, and women who experience this often feel terribly alone in their grief. But All the Love, written by three wise and compassionate women, offers much-needed understanding, consolation, wisdom, and hope. Its heartfelt and caring message will provide solace and guidance to those who have lost babies as well as those who seek to support them." -Christine Gross-Loh Author, Parenting Without Borders and co-author, The Path

All the Love: Healing Your Heart and Finding Meaning After Pregnancy Loss is a book dedicated to supporting and empowering women and their partners through miscarriage, stillbirth, and other types of pregnancy loss.

The book is part memoir, part therapy session; combining the personal story of Kim Hooper, who endured four losses, with therapeutic insights from Meredith Resnick (a licensed social worker) and Dr. Huong Diep (a board-certified psychologist). It is our hope that reading this book feels like sitting and chatting with someone about their experience, while therapist-friends listen in to provide clarity and comfort.

All the Love is the most in-depth book available to console women and partners in the wake of pregnancy loss. Topics include how to navigate the medical part of pregnancy loss, the emotional rollercoaster of grief, connecting with your partner, returning to "normal" life, rediscovering yourself, deciding whether to try again and having a baby after a loss. The book touches on considerations for LGBTQ+ couples and people facing racial, cultural, or socioeconomic issues that compound their grief.

For a loss that is so common, each woman's story is beautifully unique. We want each woman to feel seen in this book. We want her to feel validated and hopeful as she steps into what's next on her journey.

Importantly, the authors shed light on a wide array of experiences and topics across the continuum of perinatal loss. Recognizing and emphasizing diversity, Hooper, Resnick, and Diep weave together personal stories, together with self-help and academic resources, to capture the individual and shared aspects of perinatal loss.
