‘You Could Have Been…’ is a children’s picture book for bereaved parents to read to their baby who died, or didn’t survive a pregnancy. It’s filled with a parent's wonder of who their child could have been if they’d had the chance to grow up. The book is written to the child, so a parent can talk to them about their lost hopes and dreams, but most importantly, their love. 

The watercolour illustrations are by artist, Zheng Qu, and beautifully depict the essence of our very special children who are no longer with us. 

Inspired by Morrie Schwartz’s words, “Death ends a life, not a relationship”, it is hoped that this book is a special way for bereaved parents, including those who experience early pregnancy loss, to continue a relationship with their child that they are unable to hold in their arms.
