Grieving the Child I Never Knew: A Devotional for Comfort in the Loss of Your Unborn or Newly Born Child Hardcover – December 8, 2015

Obviously you are reading this review because like me you lost your baby; or someone close to you did. Just saying that makes my eyes well with tears, and my heart breaks for you. It's such a painful experience that the lucky ones never have to experience. I'd like to say it gets better, but you just learn to deal. This book is wonderful and helpful. It's hopeful and uplifting. I cry while reading it. but I cry most days anyways. Our little babies are joyful and happy in heaven and didn't have to know any of the pains here on Earth.

Wunnenberg's love for God during personal tragedy is shared here for other Christians grieving the loss of their unborn or newborn baby. It is beautifully written from a place of faith in God to get people through devastation one devotion at a time. With question prompts to ponder over and heal through at the end of each section, and Scriptures throughout to help the reader seek God in the darkness, this book would make a lovely gift for any Christian grieving the loss of a baby. As an added bonus, the simplistic art touches throughout the book of the flowers, leaves, bunny, and light green color that are also seen on the cover of the book, give it a peaceful pleasant tone for the eyes. Overall, this book is a reminder that "...God is present in the midst of your suffering" and that hope can be found during a time of great loss.This book might also be a good aid for anyone in the Christian community looking to run a grief support group for parents who have lost a baby. In the back of the book, Wunnenberg even included suggestions for questions that could be covered and utilized alongside the rest of the text over the course of 6 to 8-sessions.I have bought many books lately on child loss and this one is in my top 5 of those I've found most beneficial. In case you were wondering, my number 1 on that list is "Unexpecting: Real talk on pregnancy loss" by Rachel Lewis.May God Bless You and Keep You,Willow

Great devotional to help you through a difficult time.

After multiple miscarriages, I purchased this to try to make sense of it all. It completely validated my feelings and emotions and helped me process my grief! I now promote this book and help women around me suffering from loss! 12/10!

My co worker and friend loved the book.

This book was purchased for a friend, after our pastor and his wife purchased it for us. I highly recommend anyone who has lost a little one or suffered through a miscarriage to read this. We recently lost twins in the spring and this devotional has really helped me to process through the feelings and situations that I have faced. It has also helped my husband to better understand what I am going through and has really had an impact on my healing journey!

I recently lost my 10 day old son to a rare genetic disorder. This book has helped me so much already. I love the short chapters that have you write and reflect what was just in the chapter. It makes you not feel so alone in your feelings. Highly recommend.

Great book. It helps the process of having a miscarriage and facing the emotions and doubts. The only thing is I didn’t know this was a very Christian book. As I am not very religious. So just to let you know if you don’t have the same religion. But overall an amazing book.
