Faithful even after
losing a child is the personal story of author Christine Weisman and her
husband Mac as the suffer the most devastating loss any parent must suffer. From
being ignored by medical professionals to being rushed through emergency
procedures and the aftermath of death and the questions that remain. Her own
questions as well as the questions from family, friends and unaware strangers.
Happily married couple, Christine and Mac are anticipating
the arrival of their second child when tragedy strikes. She is rushed into an
emergency C-section when it is discovered that their baby has a tumor growing
in its head. Their son, Luke, was born on March 29, 2009 and passed away two
days later. It would be later discovered the he developed a very rare cancer.
Readers follow Christine and Mac as they fight for Luke’s life, make the
heartbreaking decision to turn off life support, to planning his funeral and
learning to live again.
As a parent who has lost two babies, I cried with Christine.
I understand her devastation and her questions. At one point she writes, “Kids
don’t come with an instruction manual. Well, I’m sad to say that there is
nothing given to you for hen your child passes away, either.” This statement is
very true. Many parents are simply sent home with condolences but no resources
to deal with these losses. I’m proud to say that is changing now as many
parents refused to be silenced any longer by a taboo and are working to bring
resources and help to other parents who need help through these losses. Many
organizations are available to parents for support and information. I recommend
Faithful even after losing a child as
one woman’s story of heartache and faithfulness.
