Reflections of Hope: Daily Readings for Bereaved Parents

Are you struggling with why God allowed this to happen?

Do you need to find a way to plant seeds of hope in your shattered heart after the death of your child? Or maybe you need ways to nourish them, so those seeds of hope can grow into learning how to live a life of meaning and purpose again after child loss.

Reflections of Hope is a book of daily readings which are like little seeds of hope being planted in the dark soil of your heart. As you continue through the days and months, those seeds will be nourished, and light will begin to break through on this dark and unwanted journey of child loss.

Each reading leaves you with a reflection - a simple way to think about or apply what you have just read, as well as a scripture that doesn't "preach," but gives encouragement based on that day's reading and reflection.

You don't have to start on January 1st. You also don't have to feel like you need to catch up if you miss a few days (or weeks). Just pick up Reflections of Hope and turn to today's date, allowing that reading to nourish your heart and soul.

When I felt like I wanted to die, I just kept reading over the entries in Reflections of Hope again and again to help me hang on and know that I wasn't going through this alone. Dawn K.

As you turn to these pages each day, you'll find the strength you need to take one step at a time on your own journey of healing as you grieve the loss of your precious child. Reflections of Hope is a book you will turn to for years to come as you walk this unwanted journey of child loss.
