More About the Author

I suffered a miscarriage during my first pregnancy and I felt devastated. As I opened up to my friends, I learned that four of them had also endured pregnancy loss- and I never knew.

This made me want to do something- especially when I found out that nearly 1 million couples each year suffer miscarriage in the U.S. alone. I wrote the book "Hope is Like the Sun," sharing what we went through. I also launched www.HopeXchange.com. A website that is the resource I really wanted during my grief, but couldn't seem to find.

The site offers information, support, a free monthly newsletter, resources and encouragement to anyone impacted by miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death.

I also run HopeXchange Publishing, which has branched out to launch Wedding Words. Wedding Words is a website that offers professionally written wedding poems that can be customized by brides and grooms. I love being a part of one of the most important days in a person's life- their wedding day!

Not what I expected October 15, 2008
By JJO
Format:Paperback
My baby was stillborn in the summer of 2008. I felt that this book focused on miscarriage and rarely mentioned stillbirth and infant loss - despite the fact that it is included in the title. If you are dealing with miscarriage, then this is a great book. If you're looking for help dealing with stillbirth then I suggest you keep looking. I feel stillbirth is a completely different situation.

There is no more poignant or painful loss to a parent than the loss of a child, whether it be by miscarriage, stillbirth or infant death. There are almost a million pregnancy miscarriages a year in the United States alone, and all too high record numbers of infant deaths. Hope Is Like The Sun: Finding Hope And Healing After Miscarriage, Stillbirth, Or Infant Death follows author Lisa Church and four of her close friends as they personally navigate the difficult passage through the grief of having a child die. The result is a unique volume offering similar couples a compendium of practical tips and emotional/spiritual encouragements that can only come from personal experience and an intimate expertise. Hope Is Like The Sun is strongly encouraged and highly recommended reading for anyone having to deal with the death of a child -- before or after one is born into the family and the world.

I have never had a miscarriage, but I have both friends and family who have had to endure the pain of pregnancy loss. I have to be honest in saying that I really had no idea what was involved in overcoming the grief associated with losing a child in the early stages of pregnancy. This book was extremely enlightening and helped me to understand exactly what women go through. It also gave me ideas on how to best support them. I wish I had this book 8 years ago.
