Publisher's summary

A surprise pregnancy ends tragically for newlyweds Katie and Eli when their daughter, Poppy, is stillborn. Devastated by her baby’s death, Katie begins a quest of reinvention. She learns how to ask for help and give herself grace while healing, changing careers, and building community.

Perhaps you have suffered a life-altering loss and have wounds to heal. Still Breathing: My Journey with Love, Loss, and Reinvention, by Katie Joy Duke, explores how vulnerability is a source of power, how acceptance forges a path to freedom, and how creativity heals. Still Breathing: My Journey with Love, Loss, and Reinvention speaks to bereaved parents, families, and grieving individuals willing to shine a light on their love and their loss. In listening to this book, you will discover that just like Katie's, your story matters and your grief deserves to be felt, seen, and heard. Her story normalizes our collective pain and uses empathy, vulnerability, and love to nurture the places that hurt within all of us.

Still Breathing reveals the pain and healing process of a grieving mother

Katie Joy Duke, has a lovely narrating voice. Her book is well written, honest, and passionate. She adds a positive spin to grief. As she openly shares her raw story of losing her first child at birth, mothers and family members alike can relate, and understand what it means to go through such a terrible loss. She is driven and spiritual, and her book is heartwarming and refreshing.
