Book Description

February 15, 2009
Hope and healing for those who suddenly find themselves in the most terrible sort of grief 

For those who have experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or the death of a child within the first year, this gentle resource offers:
  • stories of hope and wisdom;
  • practical advice and guidance, based on the experience of many;
  • comfort and ways to honor and remember.

Naming the Child creates a community of love and support for bereaving parents and siblings, written with a light touch and sensitive spirit.

"When I was nineteen weeks pregnant with my second child, Emma, I had a miscarriage. Its impossible to know ahead of time how such an experience will impact you or your marriage. I recognized many of the challenges I faced in Naming the Child. I can say with confidence that this is an amazing resource."
Amy Wilson
lawyer and mother of three

Format:Paperback
The tears I shed while reading this book were tears of hope and learning. Through friends, or through my own experiences I've struggled through every event listed in the subtitle, and while this book takes you into those difficult places, the help it gives is well worth the time and tears.

Naming the Child is beautifully, powerfully written. Ms Shroedel finds just the right tempo, the right tone to convey peace to a subject that is filled with unrest and grief. I feel much better prepared to help a friend who miscarries or loses a young child, and believe that for someone struggling through a period of sadness, this book, with its numerous stories of those who have walked the same path, would be a timely instrument of help...

We never know what to say to those that are grieving. This book helps educate and make those in these situations not feel alone. It's a wonderful collection of experiences and shows us that we have a loving God who still communicates with us. Quite the treasure!!

No Longer Alone April 20, 2009
Format:Paperback
Naming the Child is like the first brilliant rays of sunlight breaking thru the storm clouds. It breaks the silence and isolation surrounding infant death by providing a very sensitive protrayal of families that have experienced this tremendous loss. I am no longer alone in my experience and I feel as if I've met some of Talia Joy's playmates who are with her on the other side.
