Dear Naomi, I do not know of any literature that I could direct you towards, but if it would help you, I would be happy to speak with you privately about my personal experience. My son died two months ago, unfortunately having never received my milk. I have donated his milk to various infants, children and adults for different reasons, but am committed to pump full-time for one particular child. This has been an incredible blessing to me and I would be happy to discuss this with you more and/or assist another mother in her desire to donate in her grief as well.
