Kathe Wunnenberg's Grieving the Child I Never Knew: A Devotional for Comfort in the Loss of Your Unborn or Newly Born Child is a true gift for the Church. At moments of a family's most joyous expectation, there are times of grief that name miscarriage, tubal pregnancy, stillbirth, or early infant death.
Having experienced three miscarriages and the death of an infant son, Kathe Wunnenberg well knows the pervasive and enduring anguish of losing a child. A compendium of thematically appropriate devotions, Grieving The Child I Never Knew arose from her personal journey through sorrow and her desire to offer other parents in her place a wise and tender companion when their hearts have been broken, their dreams abruptly terminated, and their aspirations disrupted by the loss of a child. Each devotion includes a passage of scripture, a prayer, "Steps Toward Healing" questions, and a space for journaling. There are also comforting readings for holidays and special occasions.
If you, or someone you know, is suffering the grief of a lost child, then Grieving The Child I Never Knew can be a means toward acquiring comfort, solace, acceptance, and hope. This is a book that belongs on every pastor's shelves, and should be passed along often.
