Those who struggle with the inability to conceive, those who know the pain of losing a child before birth, and those who have faced their infant’s death at the time of birth know that this season of mourning is often held inside, hidden and unseen. But God does not abandon us. Somehow, on the other side of loss an incredible story of resilience emerges.

Of Womb and Tomb: Prayer in Time of Infertility, Miscarriage, and Stillbirth is a resource for individuals, couples, and parish communities who wish to accompany those on their grief journey. Filled with stories, prayers, Scripture, poems, and rituals, this book may serve as a guide in creating prayer opportunities in a variety of settings. Together, let us bear witness to the Christian mystery–that new life is born of the womb and of the tomb.
