The book


How can joy be found in tragedy?

This is the heart-stirring story of Aude who, while experiencing the death of her unborn daughter, Juliette, found amazing strength amidst profound sadness.

When doctors told Aude and her husband that Juliette was unlikely to survive after birth, it felt as if a trapdoor opened under their feet. How could their future be bright in these circumstances?

In her own inspiring words, Aude will take you through her journey of pain, loss and difficult emotions, and the hardest question of all – why?

Aude’s remarkable story will challenge you to live in the moment, helping you to experience hope, and even joy, in any situation

Above all, you will realise grief doesn’t have to be your master and you too can find hope in the face of adversity.

Contact

Aude is married to Baptiste. They have lived in Scotland for several years. Together, they lost their second child, Juliette, at eight months of pregnancy.

Following this experience of perinatal bereavement, Aude turned to writing and psychology, two areas that have always fascinated her.

Aude recalls: "I have always been drawn to learn about psychology and to experience for myself a life released from traumas. Travelling, discovering new cultures and getting involved in social projects have enriched me and taught me how beautifully complex and unique each human being is."

She then decided to retrain as a professional counsellor and now operates her own Practice, with a specialisation in bereavement support and trauma management.

To contact Aude about her book or for any counselling enquiry, please write to author@juliettebook.com
