Mommy, Please Don't Cry: There Are No Tears in Heaven

My 2 year old daughter passed away a couple of weeks ago unexpectedly in her sleep. It has been the most awful time in my life. One of the things that held me together during the services was remembering how much she hated to see me cry & the way that she would always try to cheer me up. This book is beautiful but the first time I read it, I will admit, it was gut-wrenching. I have never cried so hard since the moment that my life turned upside. As difficult as it was, it was healing for me and exceptionally beautiful. The artwork is exquisite and I feel as if my daughter is speaking to me. Yes, it is written from a child's perspective but with beautiful wording. Now, I don't want this book to leave my side because it is the only thing that I have found that makes me feel that my daughter is speaking to me. There are many books out there that help us to survive from another parent's perspective but the beauty of this book is that it comes from the innocence of a child who isn't aware of what they are "missing" here on earth. Even though it is hard, most of my grief comes from the things that I will be missing but I truly believe that she isn't sad and is looking forward to playing until she sees me again.

We lost our Grandchild in Birth a few years ago, and almost lost our daughter due to an unforseen complication in the delivery process. After the funeral of our Grandchild, this book was given to our Daughter by the Doctor's Office. It had been left there by another Mother and Father, who had experienced a similar loss, as they wanted to share the comfort which this book can bring, in a time of tradegy. Likewise, we too wanted to return the good deed, and purchased a copy for our Church and our Misister. This book is a source of comfort, when words are the only thing, other than prayer, which can help. We found the book an excellent source to show younger children also, and it helps to explain where their sister or brother, may be, and where they can see them again. It is an excellent book, and we are grateful for its existence.

I gave this book to my daughter after she suffered the stillbirth of a beautiful and perfect daughter, Amanda Grace, due to a cord accident. It is the story of a baby being carried up to heaven by an angel. After she is there, the baby tells her mother how wonderful heaven is and how happy she is, and all the wonderful things that she does in heaven. She says to her sad mommy, "please don't cry." At the end of the book, the baby tells her mother that they will be together again and that their hearts will "again beat as one." The accompanying pictures are sweet and happy. After the story there are a few lined pages for writing one's own thoughts. My grieving nine-year-old granddaughter, who had been so looking forward to her new baby sister, wrote about the baby and about her being in heaven. The lovely, hopeful story was a blessing to the whole family. (If you are not a Christian, this is not the book for you, as it presents a very Christian religious viewpoint.)

Very comforting book. It’s helping me get through this difficult time after loosing my daughter Kylie on 8/20/20

Though this is fictional and not necessrily scripturally sound, it is a very sweet story and speaks of a child happy in Heaven, enjoying the beauty and being loved by Jesus. There is a section to record the baby's name and "would have beens". I have given this to everyone I know who has lost a baby and they have all been so appreciative.

This is a wonderful book that reminds us all that Heaven is an amazing place filled with love, laughter, and dancing. This book was given to me after my daughter, Madeline Renae, was born still at 37 weeks on May 31, 2006. The illustrations are so beautiful and it brings comfort and joy to my heart when I read the book and think of my daughter in Heaven dancing, playing, sitting in Jesus' lap, and reminding me how wonderful it is there. I recommend this book to anyone who knows someone who has lost a child as a way to reach out. I am purchasing additional copies to give away to others who have experienced loss.

Perfect book for the loss of a child. I had one already and my friend lost her baby so I bought her one. She really liked it!

I got this for a friend after recalling the title was extremely helpful to another friend of mine who went through a miscarriage. It was well-received and my friend was grateful for the acknowledgement of her loss (all too often, we don't know what to do or say after a miscarriage, our awkward silence that results can make those suffering feel so alone.

This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are works of art and the narrative is touching. I keep a couple of copies in my closet and give one to a friend who has a miscarriage. Everyone's reaction is the same.

This book helped me through my miscarriage. Helpful reminder that I will see my baby one day.

I bought this book thinking that it was a book to read to children, but it is actually a book for the mommies. The illustrations and words, poems, and quotes are absolutely beautiful, but it is for the mother who has lost a child to read for herself. I wound up really liking it for me, but it's not for children. I would recommed a great book, "Dancing on the Moon", for children. It is so beautiful and easy to understand for siblings of a baby who has passed away. They ask for it every night.

This book is so very encouraging to a broken Momma heart! Please buy and share

The author wrote this book in response to the death of her unborn child. Part picture book and part journal, it's a lovely book that would meet the needs of women who have lost their child in similar circumstances. If you wonder how your baby is doing in Heaven, and want to write them a note, etc. It's beautifully written and illustrated. I'm just not sure if it would be appropriate for all women. I had purchased this book for my niece who's baby son was killed by her boyfriend. I was not sure how she would react to the book. The author is married with other children; my niece is not. My niece is not a "born again" Christian, but she believes in God and that she will see her son in Heaven again some day. The author states that you must be "born again" in order to get to Heaven to see your child again. I'm not disputing that. I'm just saying that this may not sit well with all readers.

When you are dealing with the loss of your child or grandchild I can highly recommend this book. It's such a painful experience, this book really helped our grieving process. You will cry, you will really sob reading this. It is all part of your healing process. Mommy, Please Don't Cry. Was the best gift I could have given my daughter after a tragic stillbirth at full term. We will always miss you Collette. Thank God, and His Holy Mother Mary you are in Heaven! With them and our dear relatives and friends, with the goodness of God we shall be together again one day soon. Thank you Linda Daymaz, you have a tremendous gift writing and the illustrations ... Just awesome.

A wonderful book - I buy several copies and keep them on hand for moms I hear about who have lost a child (also appropriate for miscarriage). It talks about how happy the child is in heaven and all the wonderful things he/she is doing and learning about. One child says there are no tears in heaven, it doesn't even hurt when I fall! It's adorable and provides such comfort to moms who have lost and are missing their baby or child. I highly recommend!

good read for anyone who has lost a child

I bought this book for myself after loosing our first baby, Cameron at the end of my first trimester, just 3 weeks ago today. And, I must say that I did indeed cry while reading it, but the simple words of this book have already started healing the deep wounds in my heart. The illustrations are beautiful, and I would recommend this to anyone who has lost an infant.

This is a great book!I have already read this book more than 3 times last 2 weeks. I suggest it to everyone who had experienced the stillbirth or miscarriage.I found that this book makes me calmer and happier.The pictures are nice and words are so simple but good chosen. If I ever have a child in the future, I will read this book and he/she will know that her/his brother is in the heaven and one day we will be all together again. However, almost all the pictures in the book are related to girls(baby girl).It can be disappointing for the ones who lost their son as myself. Also my special thanks to Amazon to deliver me this book in 1 week time, although I live in Europe.

Beautiful gift book that I want to pass along to my dil. She lost our 10th grandchild to stillbirth last May. I hope she likes this book.

If you have lost a child this story will make you cry but also bring you comfort!

The topic of having a stillbirth is heartbraking and painful. This little book lets Mommies know it's OK to cry (at first) but then celebrate the child. It is sweet and tender and very comforting

Great book

I'm giving this one to my daughter who lost her 8 yr old son in 2003 to a 22 yr old rookie cop

The book was exactly as described, was shipped promptly!

Loss is part of human life from the time our fore parents lost everything God had so graciously and lovingly given them in the beautiful garden of Eden. The loss of a child is very painfull and especially for a mother it is because part of you is removed. it is very painfull more than any physical pain one can go through. Outside of christ it is unbearable and that is why those with no hope resort to sucide because they do not know what to do. This book and it's colourfull pictures gave me so much hope and comfort. I cried often when going through it the first time, tears of joy and peace. Our son Faith died in 1999 31st January at 9 months old. i only got to read this book last month. i have been hurting all thse years and now I have been given renewed hope and comfort and i am gratefull to Linda for her coursge to share her pain and i am sure many hearts have been uplifted. I look forward to holding my baby in heaven for now and till then i will rest in the thought that he is right now bouncing on Jesus's laps.

I love this book for anyone that has suffered the loss of a child.

Bought this book for a friend that lost a small child. Highly recommended.

Beautifully written. The illustrations are indescribable as well. Hope to share this book with my sister who recently lost a baby.

very useful and helpful as a give away to people going through difficult/hard situation

A very good book for a very tragic event.

great book to give to a mom who has lost a child

I love this book it is a wonderful way to remember your little one. To think about all the wonderful things in heaven that my baby gets o enjoy and the eternal happiness for my sweet one warms my heart. As I read through this little book it brought tears to my eyes and made me happy to think of my sweet baby.

Extremely breathtaking illustrations! What beauty in the pictures and the words! I have given this book as well as "I Will Carry You" to several parents of angel babies, having suffered this same heartbreaking loss in our own family.

Happy with purchase! It was awhile ago. Helps with the greaving process. Thank You.

LOVED IT

This is a wonderful, comforting book to hand to moms who've lost a child. It is very touching and reassuring.

It full of poems, and great to read when you are grieving and want to forget about everything for a moment, I truly do reccommend it!

I am he mother of a beautiful angel, Kelliann Patricia, she was born on2/4/06. As most parents of stillborns or misscarriage I had a million questions. I do believe she is inheaven and this book gave me a glimpse of not just my baby but all angel babies. It is a tribute to the babies we all miss and love!

A beautiful book -- so encouraging for a tender time of loss! Came in very good condition.

GREAT BOOK! FAST SHIPPING!

This book was a lot like the one above. Came in good time and gave comfort and tears to my daughter.

great book for a grieving mother .........my daughter loved it. She has shared this book with other mothers.

Very comforting for infant/ child loss

The pictures in this book are beautiful. I was hoping that the book would give some practical advice to readers about coping day-to-day, but it really didn't. Still, it's a helpful book.

Excelent Quality!

Was given this book after the loss of my infant daughter...what a Godsend! I purchased this copy to share with a friend.

This book is beautiful. I get teary-eyed every time I read it. It is a perfect gift for someone who has lost a child.

Beautiful pictures. Can't really say why exactly, but just didn't love it?

This book's sentiments and illustrations were so beautiful up until the author decided to write a 2-page "Come to Jesus!" tirade in the back before the journaling section. Ruined the whole thing. No way I was going to give that to my sister-in-law after losing her baby. We're Christian, but we're not psycho.

Mommy Please Don't Cry By Linda DeYmaz Illustrations by Sabrina Smith After giving three kids, and three great pregnancies, it was a shock to me when I showed up for a normal second trimester checkup only to discover that my baby might be dead. I had no signs of miscarriage at all. No bleeding, no cramping. My OB only did the ultrasound to see if there might be twins (since I was getting up there in age.) When he turned the screen away from my view, my heart sank. There was no heart beat. What followed were two weeks of more tests and ultrasounds, and eventually a D & C. We had lost our precious baby. That was probably one of the darkest times in my life, and it was difficult to get out of bed and tale care of my three children. I cried a lot, and I wasn't sure how to get past the pain. Though there is no easy way to recover from a miscarriage, one book that brought me hope was Mommy Please Don't Cry by Linda DeYmaz. This book is written from the perspective of the lost baby speaking to their mother about the beauty and glory of heaven. It was so comforting to read and cry over the pages of Mommy Please Don't Cry time and time again. It helped heal my heart. If you have had a miscarriage, or know someone who has, this book is very healing. I strongly encourage you to get a copy, and share the love of Christ with them. Several years later, I did suffer a second miscarriage, and now have 2 glory babies in heaven waiting on me. And I know that someday, I will hold them, and "our hearts will again beat as one."

Written with a very specific focus on mothers, this book also brings comfort to fathers and grandfathers. So many books on grieving try to say too much. Many try to answer the unanswerable WHY'S?? Some claim to fully understand the depths of pain unique to your loss and to mine. This book falls into none of those traps, bringing simple comforting word-pictures backed by the gentle beauty of heart-warming illustrations. Laurie Snow Hein has done a superb job of under-girding the story with her artwork, managing to cross age, gender and race boundaries while enhancing the text. This work stands firmly on a foundation of truth implicit in Biblical teaching. This is a rich book. It does not promise to take away the pain, nor does it in any way mock or belittle the tears that most readers have shed and will shed. It gives comfort and hope that shines through the tears. A valuable and needed contribution, a treasure in my personal library. From a grandfather looking forward to a reunion - fully convinced of God's love and of eternal life - but still sometimes aching too deeply for words.

I received this book when I lost my baby, Violet,14 years ago. It definitely gave me comfort. 3 years later I had twin boys and we would read "Violet's book" very often when they were young. It was a great way for us to talk about their sister and about death without being so scary. I've given this book to every parent who I've known who lost a child since. Many of them read it with their living children as well.

I lost my first and only child, Nia, when I was almost 23 weeks pregnant in 2004. This book is beautiful, and the pages at the end that allow you to write your thoughts were very comforting for me. I agree with the other reviewers who state that this book is for people who believe in Jesus and are comfortable with Christian/Biblical references. I myself believe in Jesus, but found some of the pages in the book to be a bit different from what I believe heaven to be.. I do not find comfort in thinking about my baby having "birthdays" in heaven where she blows out her candles etc.. Those are "earthly" things in my opinion. But that did not take away from the fact that I think this book is very well done and is a wonderful thing to give to someone you love who has lost a child.

I lost my first pregnancy in 2001 and could not find resources. I stumbled across this book and it was healing. I was able to cry and smile at the same time during the worst time of my life. It is beautifully written and illustrated. This book should be given to every Christian parent that losses a child. I give it to everyone that I know with a loss.

This is my favorite book to pass on to friends who lose a small baby (late pregnancy)or toddler. It deals with the often unexpressed feelings of the mother that no one can care for her child (w/o going into a lot of written detail). Much of the help comes from the pictures. The book is written as if it were a children's book...and will be helpful for brothers and sisters of the infant or baby that passed away. The words in the book are helpful, but tie in so closely with the illustrations done by Smith that the new edition of the book has been quite a letdown. i don't know the reasons for changing the illustrator, but they have severely weakened the value of the book. i get used copies of it whenever i can. it is a wonderful book for families dealing with this kind of loss and gives a positive view of heaven, sitting with patriarchs (Noah) to hear their stories, the light and joy of heaven, being cared for by angels and never having to fall and be hurt there and most of all, being held in the arms of King Jesus. the pictures are full of color and the children are racially diverse--as heaven will be. As a mother whose stillborn daughter was born 35 yrs. ago, i had no resource like this. I am so glad to have it available to offer mothers now.

I purchased this book shortly after the loss of my daughter. I must say, that I have read many comforting (as well as informational) books on this subject to assist in coping with my grief, and in my personal opinion, this one is the best. I keep this book in my bedside table, and still read it from time to time whenever I'm having a particularly sad day, or am missing her. It is a short read ... almost in a childlike format ... with absolutely beautiful illustrations. If you are looking for a reasons or answers for your loss, or if you are offended by the "idea" of God ... this book is probably not your best choice. For me, however, as a Christian, I found great comfort and hope that my daughter is safe and happy and that I can look forward to the day when "we will hold each other tight ... and once again, our hearts will beat together."

This book is amazing! I bought this book after my infant son was born early and died. I was inconsolable, but this book helped me to see that my son was in Heaven with Jesus. The illustrations are amazing and this was also a great way of explaining to my two other sons where their brother was and how he was happy, healthy, and well up in Heaven. The book is told from the perspective of the child and is simple, yet powerful. Anyone who has lost a child would appreciate and find healing by reading this book.

I bought this book two days after the death of my firstborn child on September 26, 2005. Our daughter was stillborn at 24 weeks. By the time I opened the first page, I was in tears. The picture of the angel carrying the baby to heaven made me think of my daughter. The whole book made me feel a sense of peace knowing my daughter is in such a beautiful and wonderful place. I read this book everyday so I can rest assured that she is safe in heaven and waiting on me to get there so we can be together again. The illustrations are beautiful and very lifelike. Sometimes I feel that my daughter is actually reading the book to me and sending me a message that she is alright and for me not to cry over her death all the time. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to feel a little more at ease about where their baby is. I plan on purchasing more copies to donate to the hospital where our daughter was delivered so we can pass this book on to other parents like ourselves who need this sense of peace and understanding.

This book is a short read, but brings much comfort and peace to the heart. It reads like a children's book and can be read to children as well. The pictures are colorful and beautiful. The sentiment is heartwarming and brings peace to my heart that my baby is in a glorious place. I lost my 3rd baby Tanner Jason Tobac on 9-30-99, a full term baby, born into the arms of angels. There is a website of Tanner's Memorial Page. I received this book as a gift from another bereaved Mother. I read it with tear filled eyes. I think any mother who loses a child would love to have their own copy of this book. I have also read it to my children, so that they will know that their baby brother is in heaven. He is there singing with the angels and feeling the hugs of Jesus. Thank you for such a captivating book.

put me off. I kind of didn't like the way it was being told through the eyes of a baby miscarried. That is just my feelings. Then Linda DeYmaz had in the back of her book verses from the bible on heaven. It was so thought provoking and I loved it. She put Bible verses in the back of the book that tells us about heaven and that is what she based her book on. Then I understood. It is nice to have someone pull out things like this. I agree with her that "Heaven means more to me now and my apprehensions about death have been eased" since my little babies died. I didn't know what to tell my boys when they would have anxiety over one of us dying also and thank you to this book I know what to tell my three boys about heaven and how heaven shouldn't be a scary thing. I didn't read the actual book to them but I did read the verses about heaven to them that she pulled out.

This book was given to me by a friend after I lost my son. He was born with a terminal genetic muscle defect and passed away 11 days after he was born. Tears came to my eyes as I read this because of the beauty of the words and pictures. It is easy to read and the message is simple. It is a great book to buy for yourself or to give to someone who has experienced a loss. It does have an invitation to know Jesus at the end (good to know if you are giving this to someone else) but it isn't overbearing and isn't the focus of the book. Losing my son has been so hard, but knowing that he is in heaven with strong/working muscles and that he isn't suffering anymore has helped a lot.

I would just like to add that I know God had a hand in this book being written in August 2003 my 18 month old was killed in an accident that took her away from us one minute she was here and the next we are planning her passing what pain our family had to go through ,but my friend called a grief center and ask what she could do for her best friend and they gave her 3 books to look for but of course the store was out so when she turned around she saw this book and this book was the answere to the questions I had at that point in my pain and myself along with my other 3 kids and the 300 plus love ones that came to say good bye. this book has ment so very much for me and the most important think to me is My little Girls name was Allison Grace and we called her Ali Grace and so God does work in shining the light to those of us who are in grieveing. So thank you Mrs DeYmaz for sharing your heart wth us.

I bought this for a friend who delivered a stillbirth child. This book will bring healing to your heart and soul. I think it's one of the best books for moms who miscarried / had a child who died shortly after birth / had an abortion and is suffering from the grief and guilt, etc. I cried and cried when I read this book, it's very touching...

I ordered this book a month after i found out that I had a miscarriage with my second child. I was 10 weeks and 1 day along when i found out the news that has forever changed my life. This book helped me in ways i can not explain. It was as though my baby was talking to me. This is a great book to have as a keepsake to remeber the child you lost. I have no pictures of my baby so this book is the only thing i have to honor my child. I would recommend anyone that has lost a child to buy this.

I received this book when I gave birth to my full term stillborn daughter in February of 2010. This is one of the things that has given me the most comfort and has really touched me. Each year on her birthday, I take gift bags to the hospital to be given out to other families that will have to walk this same road. This book is always in them. This year through generous family and friends I am also able to gift the hospital 26 additional copies to have on hand. It is an amazing book!

As a father who has buried a daughter, I found this book to be the most excellent source of immediate comfort and long-term hope for parents, like me, who have experienced the loss of a child. Linda DeYmaz wonderfully captures heaven from a child's perspective and in so doing paints a very innocent and unencumbered view of eternity. Sabrina Smith's fantastic illustrations bring the concepts to life, giving this book a very powerful and annointed message! Their "one-two" punch draws the reader in - emotionally and spiritually - warming the heart and comforting the soul. No question - get this book for yourself and/or give this book to someone you know grieving the loss of their child.

We lost our son in the 5th month of pregnancy, due to anencephaly. It was so tough to find anyone else that had received that kind of devastating news from a sonogram, when you had arrived anticipating counting fingers and toes. The pictures and words ministered to my aching heart and empty arms. Each time I feel desperate, feeling like I didn't and can't now protect my son: I can open this book and feel the Lord telling me I don't have to. He is taking care of William, who is in wonderful company,and I'll see my son again when I arrive in Heaven. I know that they are both waiting for me.

This book was beautifully done and will be a blessing to any mother that has lost a young child. The only hope we have of seeing that child again is in heaven and it portrays heaven so beautiful and how happy the child is in heaven and how the child knows that one day if mommy has Jesus living in her heart she will once again be reunited with them. I highly recommend this book

I was given this book in June of 1997 after losing my baby boy in my 21st week of pregnancy from triploidy. When I read this book a cried very quietly because the words, the pictures, the colors, and the simple beauty that it portrays is unbelievably comforting. It is very short, but it is the one book that brought me so much peace. I still go back and read it once in a while, even after 3 years. I have shared it with many friends and family, and am now going to purchase one for a friend that just lost a baby in her 18th week. Oh, I love this book. I love it alot.

This is a wonderful, comforting book for Christian believers. My husband and I read with tears but were reassured at the same time. The illustrations are beautiful and there is room at the end for your written thoughts and memories. I have made the book a journal and special memory in honor of the daughter I lost. It does have some Christian and biblical references throughout that some may not be comfortable with if of other religions.

Wonderful book to read to a child when there has been a stillborn. I give it to parents in this situation. It's easy to read to a child.

I was given this book after our daughter, Katherine Faith, was stillborn due to a cord accident. I cried the first time I read it and then my daughter Kayla who is eight years old read it to me and we cried together. It is bible based and the words are so comforting and reminds me of the love that God has for us and the way he takes care of us. Thank you Linda for blessing us with a wonderful story and Sabrina for wonderful pictures of heaven and our children. I know that one day I will hold my darling Katherine again.

I found this book very helpful in dealing with the loss of a child. It does have a Christian perspective as it focuses on Heaven and what Heaven is like told from the child's prospective. It is written like a children's book and can be used as an aid in helping siblings deal with the loss of a brother or sister, however, that wasn't the initial intent of this book...it is intended for the mother.

I bought this book shortly after losing our first daughter, 40 minutes after her birth. It brought as much comfort to me as it did tears. 6 years later, i still have it. I bring it out on her birthday or anytime that I feel the need to have a really good cry because I am missing her so much.

Thank you Linda DeYmaz!!! This book has touched my heart in ways I never thought possible since the death of my first child, my daughter Madison, shortly after her birth at full term. I read this book when I am lost and it is as though my daughter is speaking directly to me from heaven. I feel a special connection to her everytime I read it. Written in the words of a child in heaven, this book should be read by all mother's who have lost a child.

This book will bring tears to your eyes, but peace in your heart. Linda DeYmaz does an excellent job of bringing comfort to the reader in showing how wonderful heaven is and how safe our precious babies are! As the mother of a stillborn son named Justin, this book keeps reminding me how wonderful that day will be when I hold my son in my arms once again for eternity. A must read for parents who have lost a child.

I received this book from a dear friend on the day I buried my daughter; Hayden Alexandra. She was born 15 weeks early and lived for 7 weeks. Even with my FAITH, I still questioned What Next. This book truly is uplifting and christian based. It makes life a little easier. As a matter of fact, my husband and I are purchasing more copies for the neonatal icu so other parents may be blessed by the simple yet heart warming message. A must read for all grieving parents.

I lost my son when i was 23 weeks and 4 days into my pregnancy,i read a lot of books on babyloss but none of them touched me to the depth this book did. Reading how it might be from Daniel's point of view comforted me beyond words,i'm not a religious person but i hope Heaven for my son is how this book describes it. Thank you for this book,it's offered hope to many parents at the most painful times in their lives.

I bought this book for the mother of my precious Makayla Zayne who touched our lives for a mere 33 hours. What an inspiration to know she lives on in heaven and that she is very happy there even when we miss her sooooo much. We look forward to the day we will be reunited with her. This book tells how happy our babies are in heaven and that we have nothing to worry about. Grandma loves you Makayla Zayne.

Cute book, very comforting.

I have read this book over and over again since the birth of my stillborn baby. It opened up a whole new perspective on heaven. Written from a child's point of view, it is very sweet and comforting to a mother's heart. My two small children read it every day for nearly a month after losing their much aniticipated sister. It taught them a lot about heaven also. I would recommend it highly to any mother who has lost their child.

Someone gave me this book when I had a miscarriage and it was a great comfort to me. (Although it made me cry!) Since then I have bought it as a gift for three other women going through the loss of a baby or miscarriage.

Did this book help me understand the death of my baby? No, but it did the one thing that all other books couldn't. It made me smile at the thought that my daughter is safe and happy in Heaven. This book gives me a peaceful and happy feeling. Every now and then I pick this book up and read it. It's like a letter from my daughter. I recommend it to anyone who lost a child.

The idea behind this book is good and I imagine this would be a helpful book for parents who have lost a child - IF AND ONLY IF those parents believe in Jesus. I would encourage people of a different religious faith to steer away from this book as the references to Jesus Christ our Savior will probably make non-believers uncomfortable. For those comfortable with those references, this book is heart-wrenching and may be helpful in coming to terms with a loss.

I actually purchased this book as a gift to a mother who recently gave birth to still-born twins. I thought it would be a nice momento for her but also having suffered 2 miscarriages myself, I found the illustrations and phrases in the book uplifting and inspirational.

I lost my son earlier this year and bought this book to give me some idea of what heaven must be like from a childrens view. When I am low or sad I read this and it makes it just a little bit easier, reading that he is in a magical place as described. It is beautifully done and a wonderfull tool to help you through the grieveing process.

This book, although a definite tear jerker, really helped me to reach a turning point in my grieving process. This book is a must have for any woman working through a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death. I will save this book forever and when I feel like having a good cry, and paying tribute to my angel in heaven I will read it.

This book will touch your heart so intensely that you will definitely be crying when you are finished reading it. It let's you see that your child is safe and sound in a place that is more wonderful then you can imagine. Touching, heart-wrenching and absolutely beautifully illustrated. You will love this book after you get through it the first few times.

I was given this book after my husband and I lost our 5 1/2 month old son, Zachary, to SIDS on May 7th 2003. This book was valuable in giving myself a since of hope to think that he did not suffer and wasnt alone. Although my husband and I are not extremely religous people it still gave me a since of closer. I have just recently started to research everything I could on SIDS and how to cope with losing a child. The act of losing a child is so gut wrenching and horrible but I have learned that I am sadly not the only one and that there are tons of those parents just like us.

This book brought tears to my eyes the first time I read it...and it continues to do so. I bought the book in memory of my son, David, who was stillborn. It is a wonderful story of heaven seen through the eyes of a child who has died. Those who read it...be prepared to be moved!!

Any one who has experienced abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth or the loss of a young child should own this book. It is powerful and comforting. This book should be a part of every bereavement program for loss of a little one.

Words cannot describe how touching and healing this book is. This powerful book is dedicated to women who have lost a child through miscarriage or other devestating circumstances. I would highly recommend this Christian based book to all mothers who have suffered the loss of a child.

This book has been very helpful. Anytime I get worried about my babies (twins) being okay or not, I read this book and feel much better.

I recieved this book the first Christmas after the loss of my son. This book helped me realize that my son isn't gone and forgotten. My baby boy is in the arms of angels and watching over me all the time. I feel much more at ease when I am down and I reread this book.

I bought this book for someone who had just lost a newborn. There is nothing anyone can do to make the situation any easier but this book helps. Wonderful book, I will puchase it again if I know of anyone else in the same situation.

every time i open this book, i cry. i feel like my little girl is talking to me from heaven. i highly recommend this book to any grieving mother that has lost a little one. it was so good i even bought one for my own mother!!!

My favorite book to give as a gift when someone has had a miscarriage.
