Grief comes into our lives like a thief. We are shocked, hurt, even bitter. The intensely personal experience may send us in a tailspin of emotions completely unexpected, always unwanted. The death of a child is perhaps one of the most grievous sorrows to bear. As an RN, I have attended many couples experiencing the death of their beloved child in the womb, or shortly after birth. I have witnessed, and shared the intense grief. We have a God who knows the number of hairs on our heads, calls the stars by name, and is aware of each sparrow that falls from the sky. This same God, is aware of each individual experience of grief and pain. God's compassion moved me to start a support group for grieving families, hoping to touch lives with His compassionate love. In this book you will find a compilation of scriptures, poems, notes, and quotes taken from the support group newsletter that I have written over the years. In times of grief, reading the words of others can help communicate the intense feelings of grief and loss and help us realize we are not alone.

本作は、我が子を失う過酷な悲劇に直面した魂への鎮魂歌であり、再生の記録です。著者が看護師として癒えぬ傷に寄り添い続けた歳月が、至高の言葉に結晶化しています。聖句や詩が織りなす表現は、単なる慰めを超え、絶望の淵にある者だけが触れられる聖域へと読者を導きます。 神の慈愛は、引き裂かれた心にこそ宿る。本書の提示する真理は、孤独な喪失感を「共有される癒やし」へと昇華させます。個人の痛みを普遍的な祈りへと変容させる文体は、暗闇に灯る光そのものです。本書を紐解くことは、悲しみを見つめ直し、再び歩き出すための静かな勇気を受け取る神聖な体験となるでしょう。
