This book is so well written and with a difficult subject matter, a welcome gift to anyone who is going through the loss of a baby.

Firstly, I want to say I have not experienced a loss such as this so I cannot identify with who this devotion was written for. That is not saying I should not have read it. In fact, I am glad I did. I know many who have experienced pregnancy loss and now I feel I understand their loss better. I will never 100% understand this loss as I do not have children and more than likely won’t.

Sarah Philpott has written a 31 day Christian devotional to the women who have experienced various types of pregnancy loss: miscarriage, still birth, and ectopic pregnancies. She wrote the devotional directly to the Mommy and she also shares her story of pregnancy loss and others share their stories as well. Philpott talks about the various changes one will go through medically and also the wide range of emotions that will be experienced. She also aims to help guide the mommy with spiritual changes.

There is also a devotion about the fathers, as they experienced the loss and grieve as well; there is a devotion about other children that the reader may have. There are also devotions about honoring your due date, how you may feel afterwards if you want to try for another child or not. There is also a devotion in regards to adoption or deciding to live a child free life.

Philpott includes Bible verses from a various versions of the Bible. She has a section of each devotion called Soul Work to apply what the devotion was about. Each devotion ends with prayer time. The last devotion is for the Mommy to share her story and cherish the baby she lost.

This is a devotion that should be completed. I can see it bringing comfort to women. There will be a wide range of emotions and a great many tears as this devotion is completed. Philpott put her heart and soul into this devotion and her love for the mommies out there is felt and seen.

Bravo for a fabulous devotion to help the mommies that have gone through pregnancy loss, be it recent or from years ago.

Many thanks to Broadstreet Publishing for my copy I was sent via NetGalley.

Sarah does well in this book. It is a deeply moving, yet emotional book to read. You cannot read her book, and not be touched as a woman. . . especially a woman who has been told she will never be able to conceive or carry to term a precious baby. Sarah shares her story, and others too. Losing a child is such a hard topic, but I think she handles it well - as she ministers to those who need it the most. May this book help many grieve, heal, and above all know they are loved by God and their communities.

Absolutely beautiful and on point book for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage or loss of a child. I cried in parts because of how closely it reflected my own journey. Highly recommend.

"Those of us who have experienced loss are now changed souls"

"words have a way of halting our hearts. We all know the words miscarriage and stillbirth don't adequately portray the big, huge, momentous significance of our precious child dying in our bodies"

My baby boy died in a pregnancy loss in 2016. I went to our local Christian bookstore and browsed the isles for a long time trying to find a book to read that would somehow know what I was going through. I couldn't find a single book on the subject there and I left empty handed.

I so very appreciate the author writing this beautiful book. It is raw, honest, and completely relatable. It's encouraging and spoke right to my heart. It referenced God's word appropriately. How I wish I had it to read last year, but I am so grateful to have read it now. I will never get tired of reading how the complex emotions involved in pregnancy loss I have/continue to experience are completely normal and felt by millions of other women.

Thank you so much to author Sarah Philpott for writing this precious book that will help and encourage so many women going through this.

"The babies that died in our wombs were born straight into the splendor of heaven". Amen

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I wish I had this book several years ago both for myself and for a friend, but I am so glad it exists now. The book includes the author's story and the stories of other women, exploration of Scripture, coping strategies, and prayers with beautiful watercolors throughout.
