This book is written for all, but especially for mothers and fathers, maybe even family members who have lost a baby or child through miscarriage, stillbirth, abortion, illness, or some other way.
Item Description:
Elisabeth already had three sons when, in 2021, her long-awaited daughter came into the world stillborn. Through her testimony, the author hopes to share courage and hope, above all with those who have similarly lost a child.
She describes how she herself was carried through it all, encouraged and comforted, and the role played by the place that is waiting for her. It is her heartfelt wish that others who have had to go through this tragic experience may experience this deep comfort too.
Voices about the book:
"We had experienced two miscarriages. After reading the book, I cried for a long time. I realised that I hadn't been able to grieve before because I wanted to be stong for my wife back then. I had a long talk with my wife about this. That was the beginning of my healing."
Batchuluun E.
"I have spoken to many women who have experienced the same thing. They say it's almost normal. But the book tells it like it really ist: true joy, but also tear-filled eyes, somthing I have experienced myself both times.
I watched an listended to all the linked content. It has given me a lot of hope to believe that I will see my children again in heaven. That was a great joy. I have also shared this book with several friends who also had to go through this experience, and of course with my husband."

"Losing
a baby is one of the worst experiences a mum can go through. When I gave birth
to my daughter 15 days before her due date, my world fell apart. The
unspeakable pain was unbearable. Knowing she was in a better place was little consolation
for me in the here and now. And yet this consolation seems to me to be the only
hopeful consolation.
I miss her here in this life. I don't get
to see her grow up. And that hurts. But I can look forward to seeing her again.
Elisabeth Dietrich's book has once again focussed my attention on what we call
heaven. She takes the reader into her experience. She tells of a peace that
only God can give."

"An important topic that is all too often met with helpless silence. I find this short book really encouraging and hope that many affected parents will find comfort an hope in it too."

"I lost my daughter in the 41st week of pregnancy - completely unexpectedly and to
this day for inexplicable reasons. It was a shock, and yet I felt supported
right from the start. I believe in Jesus and life after death, and I know that
my daughter is doing well with Jesus and that He is looking after her.
For a long time I felt robbed of my role as
a mother, until I too heard Daniel Exler's sermon and my heart was comforted. I
will be her mum one day, even if I still have to wait a while.
I was very touched by both the testimony
and the message from Daniel Exler. I could also feel this supernatural peace
that Elisabeth talks about - a peace that enveloped me like a cloak. This peace
is hard-fought for. We live in a world in which many bad things happen.
And yet I know that God will take care of
me. He is the one who keeps me on solid ground and won't let me fall down. And
it is He who has taken my girl and is lovingly cradling her until I come."
Stephanie L.
"This
book moved me deeply and is an absolute encouragement - a change of perspective
from which a deep hope grows that life does not end with death. I myself am
also the mother of a child who died prematurely and can recommend this book to
everyone, especially those who have had to go through this valley of tears. The
author writes very authentically, comprehensively and honestly about the shock
of losing her baby and being darried through all the suffering by faith in
Jesus Christ."
