Description



About the Book



Using Scripture and personal narrative, Courageously Expecting empathizes with and empowers women to face a pregnancy after loss with faith and courage, despite inevitable feelings of grief and fear that accompany life after losing a baby.



Book Synopsis



Find hopeful courage and peace of mind as you face pregnancy after losing a baby.

Motherhood doesn't always look like "happily ever after," and family planning doesn't always go according to plan. While pregnancy is widely regarded as one of the most joyful times in a woman's life, for the mother who has experienced pregnancy loss, a subsequent pregnancy can feel like she's holding her breath and hoping for what she can't control.

In Courageously Expecting, author Jenny Albers meets you in this difficult season as someone who has also experienced the worst and cautiously hoped for the best. She invites you on a thirty-day journey through the complicated and often contradictory emotions that accompany pregnancy after a loss. Together, you'll spend time in reflection, prayer, and journaling as you discover how to find the courage to move forward in faith, including:

  • Trying again after a loss
  • Seeking comfort in God instead of Google
  • Celebrating each milestone
  • Believing that joy will come after mourning

Throughout this journey Jenny encourages you to cling to faith in the face of fear and will guide you to:

  • Cultivate hope when doubt weighs heavy
  • Realize that the past does not dictate the present or the future and that God creates a way in the wilderness of grief and loss
  • Flip the script on the what-if, worst-case-scenario narrative in your mind and learn to take your thoughts captive
  • Find the courage to humble yourself and ask for and accept help from others.

Whether you're pregnant again or still in the stages of considering becoming so, Courageously Expecting is a companion to help you through the days when fear overshadows hope. Taking this thirty-day invitation to join Jenny is your brave step toward hope when pregnancy feels heavier than you ever thought it could.

Raw & Real & Encouragement to Hope

It is so refreshing when an author doesn't come across as having everything together and like she has the solution to everything. In this book, Jenny is so raw and real with her emotions and hurts - instead of teaching at you, she is walking with you. She doesn't sugarcoat the way she was feeling during the difficult season - she is very vulnerable with how difficult it has been. But each chapter, offers hope - a reason to cling to God in the midst of despair and to choose to hope. I think one of the greatest things about the book is that you will not feel like you are walking this road alone, but that she is walking with you and giving you hope along the way.

Authentic and encouraging

I've had multiple miscarriages, including a 2nd-trimester loss. This book truly helped me heal, process, and hope again. If you are experiencing pregnancy after loss, hope to become pregnant after loss, or have a sister or friend in this situation, consider buying this book. Jenny shares her own story authentically and honestly, and as she does, she helps her reader feel seen and loved. She uses God's Word as a foundation for her encouragement, revealing His love, peace, and comfort. She not only gives you permission to hope again, but she shares in that hope with you.
