Beautifully written story of a couple's grief.

I read this book after hearing Brad speak at an event. I loss my son to very similiar circumstances. It was comforting to read of another parents account of having a still born child. As well as eye opening for me to view my son's death through a male perspective, and helped me understand my husbands grief better.

An account of a stillbirth from the father's perspective. The parents are quite religious (which I am not) but the story was very real and heartbreaking. It certainly helps me to read about other's accounts. Amazing how similar thoughts and feelings are.

This book was written by a father on the loss of his child. It is heartfelt and you will need a tissue regardless of if you lost a child or not.
