This 64-page, padded hardcover baby book is manufactured by Corporate Graphics Commercial out of Mankato, Minnesota. It can be found at bookstores, hospitals, nonprofits, and thousands of homes across 12 countries. It was created under the supervision of an OB-GYN and a licensed grief counselor, and the guidance of dozens of bereaved moms.

I Love You Still is endorsed by the March of Dimes, Postpartum Support International, Share Pregnancy and Infant Loss Support, Faith’s Lodge, First Candle, and Minnesota’s own Star Legacy Foundation, among others. I Love You Still is not a print-on-demand title; rather it is a quality, 8 x 10.5” baby book with lay-flat Smyth sewn binding and substantial 80 lb. uncoated stock. The book was featured in the Lake Minnetonka Magazine holiday issue, December 2018.

I Love You Still: A Memorial Baby Book is a baby memory book specifically made for the events and emotions that follow a miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal loss. I Love You Still combines aspects of traditional baby books with areas for memorialization to preserve the memory of a baby lost in the womb, during, or shortly after birth. The book can be completed at whatever time feels right for mom, and can be revisited for months or even years to come.

 I Love You Still captures the lives of families as they were before, during, and after pregnancy or newborn loss: the joy, the excitement, the love and the heartbreak. It contains typical sections devoted to parents’ backgrounds, trying to conceive, and monthly pregnancy milestones, as well as those devoted to enjoying the time spent together, memorial gestures, and their lives today. The book contains areas designed to echo themes a mother might encounter in professional support sessions, with ample prompted and freeform journal space to allow mothers to express their feelings and write whatever feels right to them. 

I Love You Still is a full-color, professionally illustrated, gender-neutral nursery themed hardcover book. The content between its padded covers was created using thoughtful details, charming characters, and quality materials.
