This Book Should Not Exist

“I think people are tired of coming to burials for my dead children,”
I told my Mom in September 2023. 

Perhaps some of you reading this understand the sentiment.

In my experience, people are sympathetic and understanding with your first miscarriage. 

Then you go into early labor during the 2nd trimester and people are not just sympathetic–they are shocked and horrified.

But when you miscarry again, you wonder if you should tell anyone. 

I have four children: Judah, Edie, Selah, and Hosanna.

Edie (short for Edith) has started noticing that many of her friends have young siblings.

The first time she asked me whether she was going to have a sister, I struggled to explain to her that she DOES have 3 siblings. 

You may have seen my video sharing how I requested Jellybean include a dedication page so I could add the names of my children for Edie to be able to see.

After walking with this book every step of the way, I have made one more request: 

Because I want every family who needs it to have this book, I asked that the original 1st printing price be extended another day.

If cost is a barrier to your family, I hope another chance at this lower price is helpful. 

Thank you for letting me share my story–so many of you have shared yours with me.

I wish this book didn’t exist,
but for those who need it,
I hope it brings healing to your family. 

I cannot wait to meet all your children one day.
