Have you endured the anguish of pregnancy or infant loss? Around 1 in 4 women face this tragedy, experiencing initial joy followed by devastating pain. 'Gospel Hope in Pregnancy and Infant Loss' is a comforting booklet that guides through this grief, pointing to scriptural hope. Even in our deepest sorrow, God is present, understanding our pain and offering healing, solace, and hope.
This book by The Daily Grace Co. is beautifully written and beautifully illustrated. It contains scripture throughout the book, pointing to God’s love, comfort, and sovereignty. That He cares for the broken hearted. This book covers practical topics including definitions, pregnancy after loss, how to be prepared for other people’s questions, triggers of grief, how to grieve with your husband, how to help those who are grieving. There is Biblical scripture throughout the book and covers spiritual topics like how to deal with our grief emotions and lament to God. How to have hope. Our identity in Christ. Scripture that points to babies going to heaven. Jesus’ 2nd coming and God’s plans for restoration. This audience of this book is for Christian women. Salvation of babies is addressed but there isn’t a specific place I could find that gave the plan of salvation through Jesus Christ. It’s an assumed belief in the book. This would be a sweet gift for friends, family, church family to give to a grieving Christian mom after miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss.
This was the second book I’ve received post-miscarriage and this was the one I preferred. Focusing in on the Gospel, with ample opportunities to journal, pray, and dwell on Scripture, this book covered many aspects of child loss from all angles. The last quarter of the book even has ideas for supporting a friend who is going through loss. A great resource if you’re walking through it or simply know someone who is. It’s not too heavy and doesn’t drag you down. It’s honest and helpful.
