Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

TW: Miscarriage/Stillborn child

This is a pretty short book, but I thought it was a very tender and vulnerable depiction of a topic that’s too often taboo, and it covered a lot of the processes that happen after a stillborn delivery that aren’t well known—like taking pictures of the baby, keeping items like a hospital bracelet, recovery, therapy, and even things like the fact that many parents *want* to talk about their child—and I really appreciated this graphic novel and its caring portrayal of a couple trying to recover from such a specific and painful loss.
