Download or read book When Unborn Babies Speak written by Tiffany Matthews and published by MMFL Publications. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fewer human events impact us more than the death of our child. Yet not all deaths of children are treated equally--not even in the United States. We rightfully mourn the teenager killed in the car wreck, the preteen who dies after an extended battle with leukemia, and the toddler who drowns in the pool. Yet, when a child dies inside the womb, their tragic deaths seem to be glossed-over with comments insinuating that the lives they lived inside the womb were not as meaningful as the lives of the children who lived to be a teen, preteen, or toddler. "This book is thought-provoking. Bonding between mothers and unborn babies could be far more developed in very early stages than first thought. Just thinking about this special closeness, hopefully, endears us to our unborn babies as well as those of others. [This is a] good book for those who are pregnant or those considering pregnancy."-Faith Norris, Licensed and Ordained Minister, WOG Prayer Counselor. This book reassures readers of the humanity--of the soul--of their preborn child. Candidly relayed experiences are intermingled with Biblical expositions and scientific evidence to provide validation of the right for the parent or family member to feel just as devastated as if their child had not died until after graduating from high school. Parents may find comfort and further validation for their emotions and experiences. Parents who have aborted their child may find help and hope. Preachers may find fresh perspectives from which to expound on the scriptures. Pro-life groups may find a critical missing element (or more) to further their cause. Psychologists and other counselors may find confirmation for some of their theories. Researchers interested in studying experiential phenomena may be surprised at some of the claims in this book. This book also mentions or references (to varying degrees) topics such as the vanishing twin syndrome, womb twin survivors, fetal resorption, microchimerism, maternal intuition, bonding, fatherly love, grief, near-death experiences or encounters/visions, heaven, angels, subconscious memories, fetal development, adoption, abortion, sharing pregnancy stories, sexual purity, and more.

Download or read book An Empty Cradle a Full Heart written by Christine O' Keeffe Lafser and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2009-05-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Bereavement after the loss of a baby is often quiet and lonely,” writes Christine O’Keeffe Lafser, who has twice lost a child to death. “There is no wake or funeral, no grave site, no memorial to our baby’s life or death. . . . Since there are no real memories of our little one’s life, people have a hard time comprehending the depth of our love and grief.” In these reflections, Lafser offers grieving parents the empathy and courage that can come only from one who has walked the same difficult path. “Chris expressed so many of my thoughts and feelings and made me feel so normal. . . . The greatest gift is learning that God does not desert us in our time of need.” Linda Davis, Compassionate Friends, after miscarriage and stillbirth “The juxtaposition of a Scripture text with each reflection is inspired. Some of the texts are breathtaking in their beauty and appropriateness. This book is a ‘must’ for anyone who is ever touched by the loss of an infant.” Joseph Awad, poet and grieving grandfather “This book will be very helpful for parents who are mourning the loss of their child. It will also prove very beneficial to anyone who is ministering to a bereaved parent.” Robert N. Craig, O.F.M. Cap., hospital chaplain “These reflections allowed me to ‘be’ how I was feeling—not feel like I should be going through the stages of grief that other books described. With this book I was no longer a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.” Jeanette Siebels, after infant death
Download or read book Grace Like Scarlett written by Adriel Booker and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though one in four pregnancies ends in loss, miscarriage is shrouded in such secrecy and stigma that the woman who experiences it often feels deeply isolated, unsure how to process her grief. Her body seems to have betrayed her. Her confidence in the goodness of God is rattled. Her loved ones don't know what to say. Her heart is broken. She may feel guilty, ashamed, angry, depressed, confused, or alone. With vulnerability and tenderness, Adriel Booker shares her own experience of three consecutive miscarriages, as well as the stories of others. She tackles complex questions about faith and suffering with sensitivity and clarity, inviting women to a place of grace, honesty, and hope in the redemptive purposes of God without offering religious clichés and pat answers. She also shares specific, practical resources, such as ways to help guide children through grief, suggestions for memorializing your baby, and advice on pregnancy after loss, as well as a special section for dads and loved ones.
Download or read book Mis carriage written by Regan Parker and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-14 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This was supposed to be an exciting moment, the announcement that my baby was coming. I realized that I was going through labor, but at the end of it, I would have nothing."(Mis)carriage is one woman's honest, intimate journey through the loss of her child after eight weeks of pregnancy. Her candid account of loss, grief, and new beginnings shines as comforting proof that hope awaits in the aftermath, and that the loss of her baby matters. Although an estimated one in four women experiences a miscarriage, few resources are available to these women and their families. Regan Parker's personal yet universal story of love, life, and loss boldly explores the complexities of grief, while calling plaintively for the resources that would help others cope with the pain of losing a child. Parker's memoir explores the essence of human nature and finds that beneath the heartbreaking experience of losing a child and the newfound hope that blossoms in parenthood, there is the truth that in the end is the beginning.Above all, it matters that these women are mothers without babies. It matters that they want to know the reasons for their early pregnancy loss. It matters that miscarriage is a universal experience shared by tens of thousands of women, but is hardly mentioned among women and medical practitioners. "This book will not only help those who feel lonely in their journey of their loss but also the hope of a future." - Jana Kramer, actress and singer
