My review:

Heartrending in its honesty and depiction of earthly and spiritual realities – with all the joy, grief, and ultimately hope that families feel in welcoming and then relinquishing their precious baby from the mother’s womb to the arms of the Father. We’ve shared these losses with our children, and this is a valuable tool for many, many grieving families.

I don’t know that any family is ever ready to hear that their beloved child – still in the womb or just born, has died. Three times I learned our unborn baby had no heartbeat and while the 2nd and 3rd times were less surprising, they were no less heartbreaking.

We have so much love and hope for these children whose lives are so, so short. Grieving them is often a quiet, unacknowledged affair within the family’s home. How do you grieve a child lost so soon? How do you explain it to your other children and help them grieve? Where do you find hope and even joy?

Jellybean: A Baby’s Journey to God by Theoni and Bastian Bell goes a long way toward helping parents and siblings come to terms with their loss and find comfort in their baby’s place among the saints. 

New from Holy Heroes, I highly recommend this beautiful book for families who have experienced such loss. It is a balm for their souls.
