Nearly every family has experienced infant loss or miscarriage. Yet, it remains a painful experience few families talk about. For both children and their parents, there's a beautiful new book that shows the important role these babies still have in their families. In fact, it is so beautiful and tender it brought members of our staff to tears. Little Jellybean, so nicknamed by her family, experiences an exciting world of sound and sensations inside her mother's womb, encountering the voices and personalities of her loving family. Just when she's nearly outgrown her mother's belly, a surprising visitor guides her to her new home. There, Jellybean is given a mission to help her family find meaning in their loss and ultimately join her in the presence of God. "I read this book and broke down in tears. I had an early miscarriage, and this was such a beautiful way to envision that loss," said Kelly, a mother of a miscarried baby. After reading this book, another mother said, "After I stopped crying, I thought of friends and relatives who would do well with this book. Jellybean will speak to those who have miscarried at any stage and those who have lost full term babies, infants, and even young children. We need help explaining and remembering God's hand in the matter. Jellybean includes a dedication page where you can include the name of your child alongside a prayer. We can't recommend this beautiful story more - not just for kids but for everyone who has a little one in the arms of God. God bless you! |
