Rate this book
A Christian Grief Companion for Parents Who’ve Lost a Child

“I miss them every day. I don’t know how to keep going. I need more than clichés — I need something sacred.”

If these words reflect your heart, Held was written for you.

Whether you’ve experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, sudden death, or the slow ache of illness, this book gently walks with you through unspeakable sorrow — with the honesty of grief and the unshakable promise of God’s presence.


Inside this book, you’ll ✨ Compassionate, Scripture-rooted reflections for every stage of grief

✝️ Whispers from God’s heart written directly to the one who’s lost a child

💬 Breath prayers to anchor you when you can’t find words

✍️ Journaling prompts and memory rituals to help you process and honor your child

🌿 Hope that doesn’t minimize the pain — but lives through it

This is not a book of answers.
It is a book of sacred presence.
A space to mourn, remember, and believe — just barely — that this is not the end of the story.

You are still a parent.
Your child is still known.
And one day, you will hold them again.

Perfect
✔ Grieving mothers and fathers
✔ Grandparents, siblings, and family members

✔ Anyone searching for faith-filled comfort after child loss

Because love doesn’t end at the grave. And neither does God’s goodness.
You are seen. You are not alone. You are still held.
