Prior to Waves being published, a number of professionals who work for relevant organisations, as well as bereaved parents, have read a pre-released copy and given their valuable feedback. I am grateful for their input and fantastic reviews.

"Waves is a beautifully photographed/illustrated book, bursting with hope and positivity. It comes from Hannah’s/the author’s personal experience of grief, but recognises that all grief is unique. It is fundamentally a practical guide to wellbeing which will connect with many bereaved parents."

"This is a lovely book as well as quite unique. There is rhythm and beauty, as well as sense and logic in the parallels between surfing, nature and emotions. The images are extraordinary. We are wary of promising solutions and you are too - you talk about what has worked for you, and suggest and inform rather than promise."

"I have a few books about miscarriage and coping with grief, but yours is more gentle by comparison. I qualified as a grief coach after both my parents passed away when I was in my early thirties. But my miscarriages were a different kind of loss, it physically passes through your body, and I couldn't counsel myself. I think books are a great source of support but they have to "feel" right. Waves ticks all the right boxes."

"I came across your book on Instagram when I was looking for support after we lost our son. I have been lucky enough to read a copy before it is published. I have always found being out in nature and sea swimming very healing and it suited me perfectly to have a book that helped me process my suffocating grief in a way I could really relate to. The images are incredible and really speak to you. I cannot recommend this book highly enough."
