Surviving Child Loss

Book Cover & Preview Text
After losing a child it's hard not to question God. It is hard not to want to know why this had to happen, why we had to lose this precious child. The pain of losing a child causes us to cry out, "Why, God? Why did you take my child? How can I stand it?" God in his love and compassion for us never leaves us nor forsakes us in our need for his comfort and strength as we grieve for our child. Paul says in Philippians chapter four that he has learned to be content in all circumstances. We look about us at the devastation that child loss has wrought on our lives and wonder how it is possible to be content. We can learn to be content simply by knowing God, knowing that he is in charge, knowing that he has a plan for our lives. So we place our hope, our future, our hearts in his hands; God’s big, more than capable, more than wonderful hands. God is intimately involved in all the details of our lives. However deep our pain and sorrow today God is always there, faithful and ready to take our pain into himself and comfort us with his presence. God promises to be with us always, and so he is. He hovers over us, tenderly pouring his peace over our broken hearts, whispering reassurance that we will see our child again, as we cycle through the pain and sorrow of child loss over and over again. God will personally wipe every tear from our eyes. What a God we serve! Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful."

About the Author
I lost my son, Jonathon, on December 20, 2013. He was twenty six years old, my middle of three sons and a true Momma’s boy from the second he drew breath at birth. He was bright, funny and had a giving, loving heart. He is missed every second of every day. I started writing a letter to him every day about how much I missed him, all my feelings on losing him and what was going on in our lives. Soon after this I started a blog about the sorrow of losing a child but surviving this painful loss by leaning on my faith in God. This has become my ministry. This book is a devotional for parents who have experienced the loss of a child. Parents who have lost a child, will never get over it but with faith in the unfailing love of God and the hope that we find in Christ we can learn to live with the pain and we can survive the loss of our child.
