Gone Too Soon: The Life and Loss of Infants and Unborn Children

This book sets the standard for child loss in the LDS community. Such an in depth look at the emotions of loss, and the LDS doctrines around child loss. More then highly recommended, a must for the LDS mother experiencing loss. I looked everywhere for answers after my loss, this book was exactly what I needed. I am thankful for the many recommendations I got for it. And now join the throng of women recommending this book for child loss.

I recieved this book after my daughter was stillborn. It was a gift from my sister-in-law who had lost a baby in a car accident. I now share this book with anyone who tragically needs the comforts that this book brought to me. It taught me first and foremost that my husband and I grieve very different. It also reminded me that my Heavenly Father loves me and my baby and even though my daughter never took a breath she has a place in my family and in heaven. There is so little written in scripture about loosing a baby and this book brings out many words from modern day prophets that answer all those questions I couldn't seem to find answers for. I am very grateful for the comfort this book brought me.

I received this book from a close family friend after the death of my infant son. It helped me understand the feelings I was having and some of what my husband was going thorugh as well. Great LDS perspective of what happens to a child after this life! I always have an extra copy on hand to pass to other parents who have suffered the loss of a child. Highly recommend this book!

I read this after a miscarraige and a friend read it after her baby died of SIDS. While nothing can ease the pain of these events, this book helps you to know you are not alone.

I have treasured this wonderfully frank and insightful book. How tragic its concept, yet how much comfort and support it has given me and several of my dear friends who have also experienced the death of a child. As we journey over the often-times, bumpy trail that is life, we may feel alone in our circumstances and this book enables us to feel a closeness and a shared strength with those who are also travelling along this path.
