The tears I shed while reading this book were tears of hope and learning. Through friends, or through my own experiences I’ve struggled through every event listed in the subtitle, and while this book takes you into those difficult places, the help it gives is well worth the time and tears.
Naming the Child is beautifully, powerfully written. Ms Shroedel finds just the right tempo, the right tone to convey peace to a subject that is filled with unrest and grief. I feel much better prepared to help a friend who miscarries or loses a young child, and believe that for someone struggling through a period of sadness, this book, with its numerous stories of those who have walked the same path, would be a timely instrument of help…

We never know what to say to those that are grieving. This book helps educate and make those in these situations not feel alone. It’s a wonderful collection of experiences and shows us that we have a loving God who still communicates with us. Quite the treasure!!

Naming the Child is like the first brilliant rays of sunlight breaking thru the storm clouds. It breaks the silence and isolation surrounding infant death by providing a very sensitive protrayal of families that have experienced this tremendous loss. I am no longer alone in my experience and I feel as if I’ve met some of Talia Joy’s playmates who are with her on the other side.

Naming the Child is a jewel. This book offers comfort while raising awareness about our culture’s fear of the grieving process. It includes interviews with parents who discuss their experience with vulnerability and strength. The book encourages health care professionals to allow grieving parents the opportunity to hold the infant. It is beautifully written – and quite relevant as I know many who have mourned such losses.

This book is beautifully written and valuable for any parents dealing with the death of an infant. It is written from a Christian perspective and handles this delicate topic very gently. A must-read for anyone working with grieving parents.
