I read “I’m Sorry for my Loss” by Rebecca Little + Colleen Long. Would recommend it.

I am on the first chapter of The Snow Child. It starts out with the FMC lamenting how she and her husband are still childless after going through a stillbirth/miscarriage 10 years ago.

That should be h{{The intangible by C. K. Washington}} for fiction.
For non-fiction h{{sorry for my loss}}

Here are a couple of romance novels that have on page miscarriage in them:
h{{A Wicked Kind of Husband by Mia Vincy}}
h{{When He Was Wicked by Julia Quinn}}

An Exact Replica of a Figment of My Imagination, by Elizabeth McCracken, is the author’s memoir of experiencing a stillbirth. It’s really beautiful and compassionate.
Born Sleeping, by HC Gildfind, is a novella about stillbirth, based on the author’s experience of watching her sister-in-law experience it.
Poor Your Soul, by Mira Ptacin, is a memoir about the author’s experience of carrying a non-viable baby, and having to undergo a late term abortion.
Whatever your reason for seeking out these books, I really hope you’re doing OK, OP. My grandmother experienced a stillbirth in her twenties, and she carried that loss with her for the rest of her life. The memory of her firstborn son still lives on in those of us who never met him; he’s still very much a part of our family and our collective story.
