Wonderful help in a horribly difficult time

A friend gave me this book after I suffered a miscarriage. Her daughter (a friend of mine) was given it after she had a tubal pregnancy. When you go through a horrible experience of losing an unborn child there are so many questions and emotions and you don't know how to handle everything that is going on.This book helps to answer some of those questions and to comfort a grieving parent. It provides answers for some of the hardest questions out there and tells you what to expect in the coming days and months.It also helped me to understand other people's reactions to our loss.I would recommend this book to anyone who lost an unborn child.

From Someone Who's Been There

I received this book from a friend after my baby was stillborn at almost 5 mos into my pregnancy. This book has helped me go through the grieving process as well as looking forward to the next pregnancy. I could relate to everything that Pam has written. This book is a MUST READ for all women who are going through the sadness of a miscarriage or stillborn. (for those who are hesitant of "Christian Books" this book is beautifully written and is appropriate for all faiths)

From someone who's been there

I received this book from a friend after my baby was stillborn at 5 mos. It has been extremely helpful through the grieving process. I could relate to a lot of the things that Pam wrote. A MUST READ for any woman experiencing a miscarriage or stillbirth.(for those hesitant of "Christian Books" I felt this book is not "preachy" but very beautifully written and appropriate for those of any faith).

This is a wonderful book...

This book was a great help to my wife and myself after the stillbirth of our son. When we started our own ministry to help those suffering from the loss of a baby, we looked at dozens of potential books to use in the ministry, and we kept coming back to this book as the most complete, compassionate work on the subject. This book stands far above most others by helping grieving parents come to terms with their loss intellectually, emotionally, and spritually. I can't say enough about this book and the impact it has had on the lives of the people that we have given it to in our ministry.

very helpful in grieving process

This book was very helpful in grieving for my baby who died during delivery. It helped me to know that my feelings are normal and really helped me to understand everything I was going through. I have recommended this to several of my grieving friends. I love the Christian perspective.
