I was thrilled to be invited on the ChewsLife Instagram today to share the beautiful Jellybean: A Baby’s Journey to Heaven. 

Shannon and I talk about our personal experience with losing children, how we talk about it with our living children, and how important it is that we comforting it is to know that we are not alone in our struggles.

Shannon also announced that you can now find Jellybean: A Baby’s Journey to Heaven in the ChewsLife store! We could not be more thrilled about this partnership and know that it will help Jellybean reach so many more families.

Here is what other mothers are saying about this picture book:

“We are visiting a family tomorrow that recently lost their baby. My oldest daughter was upset to hear about this, but seemed to really like the Jellybean book. So the book can help friends too.”

“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.”

“This book is an absolute God-send! We have struggled to explain the deaths of our little sons to their big sisters, and this book does it so simply and beautifully. After bawling through it, I am so grateful for this resource and treasure. Thank you!!!”
