Great book. It helps the process of having a miscarriage and facing the emotions and doubts. The only thing is I didn’t know this was a very Christian book. As I am not very religious. So just to let you know if you don’t have the same religion. But overall an amazing book.

I recently lost my 10 day old son to a rare genetic disorder. This book has helped me so much already. I love the short chapters that have you write and reflect what was just in the chapter. It makes you not feel so alone in your feelings. Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Addition to the Personal Library of Any Christian Grieving the Loss of a Baby
Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
Wunnenberg's love for God during personal tragedy is shared here for other Christians grieving the loss of their unborn or newborn baby. It is beautifully written from a place of faith in God to get people through devastation one devotion at a time. With question prompts to ponder over and heal through at the end of each section, and Scriptures throughout to help the reader seek God in the darkness, this book would make a lovely gift for any Christian grieving the loss of a baby. As an added bonus, the simplistic art touches throughout the book of the flowers, leaves, bunny, and light green color that are also seen on the cover of the book, give it a peaceful pleasant tone for the eyes. Overall, this book is a reminder that "...God is present in the midst of your suffering" and that hope can be found during a time of great loss.

This book might also be a good aid for anyone in the Christian community looking to run a grief support group for parents who have lost a baby. In the back of the book, Wunnenberg even included suggestions for questions that could be covered and utilized alongside the rest of the text over the course of 6 to 8-sessions.

I have bought many books lately on child loss and this one is in my top 5 of those I've found most beneficial. In case you were wondering, my number 1 on that list is "Unexpecting: Real talk on pregnancy loss" by Rachel Lewis.

May God Bless You and Keep You,
Willow

This book was purchased for a friend, after our pastor and his wife purchased it for us. I highly recommend anyone who has lost a little one or suffered through a miscarriage to read this. We recently lost twins in the spring and this devotional has really helped me to process through the feelings and situations that I have faced. It has also helped my husband to better understand what I am going through and has really had an impact on my healing journey!

4.0 out of 5 stars This Book Saved Me
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2023

There are SO many good things I could say about this book, but the one that really stands out the most to me is the Soul Work sections, in which the author gives the reader suggestions on simple things to do or think about. For example, we all know that when tragedy strikes, many people around us simply do not know how to help us. Inevitably, they will say all the wrong things. One of the author's suggestions is to write these hurtful things down on a piece of paper, mark them out with a marker, and then throw the paper away. It's the simple things in life that seem to help the most, and this author seems to really get this fact and works to help the reader through simple activities or simple thoughts to ponder, that just don't seem to be coming to mind all that easily during tragedy. Along with her thorough understanding of child loss grief and how to lovingly reassure and comfort someone struggling with it, she also has a clear love for God and His Holy Word. The Scriptures she includes go along well with what she discusses, and help bring to mind that no one who has God is ever truely alone. I recommend this book to any Christian woman grieving the loss of a baby. Others may also find answers here, on how to better understand and help the women in their lives who are grieving the loss of a baby. As it is written on the back of the book, what you will find here is absolutely "Christ-filled comfort" during a time of great loss.

I read this book after 2 losses. There were some parts that really made me understand how I was feeling. This was a good side to help me grieve. Although I didn't follow the suggested pattern I took my own time.
