In Leonard and Amy’s opinion, this book should be in every home. This book gives insightful prayers to work through after the immediate death of a loved one including the morning of the funeral, along with insightful prayers and litergies to meditate on as one grieves or walks alongside one who is grieving.

Nicholas Wolterstorff
This book is a must-read. Following the death of his son in a mountain climbing accident, Nicholas puts words to the conflicting thoughts and feelings he has towards God. He has an uncanny ability to articulate his grief and pain that will touch your heart.

Mark Vroegop

Dr. Gary & Laura House
Child loss is difficult to explain if you haven’t been there, as it is with most things in life. The parents who have shared their stories in Until Then: Stories of Loss and Hope have experienced just that—the grief of losing a child. Within each chapter, you will find the story of a child who is deeply loved and missed beyond measure. You will get a glimpse of the shock and devastation that became a reality for each parent, but in reading their stories, you will also observe how God has held them through each painful step. His loving-kindness and faithfulness to them are clearly seen, even in the midst of their sorrow.

Randy Alcorn
Practical and straightforward, yet warm and compassionate, Grieving with Hope clarifies the popular misconception that people move through stages of grief. This will be an encouragement to many, as grieving people often think something is wrong with them when their grief doesn’t proceed neatly through stages. The reality is that grieving people jump back and forth between different emotions, sometimes wrestling with multiple emotions at once.

Darby Strickland
Darby A. Strickland uses a children’s story to help parents and caregivers walk with children through the complexities of grief and the questions that come with a loss. A special section at the end of the book gives parents tips for helping their children express their sorrow to God and offers ideas for remembering a loved one.

Jonathan Gibson
Even young children want answers to the hard questions about God, the Bible, Jesus Christ and suffering. In The Moon Is Always Round, seminary professor and author Jonathan Gibson uses the vivid imagery of the moon to explain to children how God’s goodness is always present, even when it might appear to be obscured by upsetting or difficult circumstances.

Nancy Guthrie
A helpful discussion on how to interact with those who have recently been affected by loss. 

Melanie DeSimone
Melanie discusses the mental, physical, psychological, emotional and relational work a grieving heart must do in order to process and learn to carry sorrow and missing.

Leonard & Amy Bailey
Leonard and Amy Bailey share the story of their daughter, Ilona, and of her homegoing, just two years ago. They share with honesty and transparency about their grief journey, and offer insights learned through suffering.

For those who need help dealing with grief, grief loss and support groups are here for you.

Encouragement and hope for bereaved parents.
