About the Book

In Comfort in Sorrow, leaders and members of M.E.N.D.

Book Synopsis

Find comfort as you read real, hope-filled stories from other parents who have also lost a baby and understand the depth of your loss.

Comfort in Sorrow offers forty devotions to help your grieving heart feel seen, less alone, and held by the God who loves you.

When a baby is lost to miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death, the grief that follows is unlike anything else. It is overwhelming, isolating, and full of questions that have no easy answers. Comfort in Sorrow was written for exactly that moment--and every moment that follows. Compiled by leaders and members of M.E.N.D. (Mommies Enduring Neonatal Death), this devotional brings together forty raw, honest, and hope-filled entries from real parents who have walked this road and discovered that God never left their side. Inside you'll find:

• Forty devotions, each addressing a different feeling a grieving parent may experience, from anger at God and overwhelming sadness to the fear of forgetting and a renewed sense of hope
• Contributions by loss parents, for loss parents, who share their real stories, including the names of their babies, the specific circumstances of their losses, and the hard-won faith lessons that followed
• Entries rooted in Scripture, each one anchored by a carefully selected Bible verse and closing with a prayer you can make your own
• Honest and unpolished accounts in the best possible way. These are not tidy testimonies but real accounts of grief, doubt, and the slow, incremental journey back toward God.
• A practical resource at the back of the book offering responses to common but hurtful phrases well-meaning people say after a loss

Comfort in Sorrow is a meaningful gift for any parent navigating infant loss and a valuable resource for the friends, family members, and pastors who love them and would be a useful resource for grief counselors, hospital chaplains, or support group leaders.
