Mommy, Please Don't Cry

This book has blessed many hearts of mothers who have lost their children. I have used it in post-abortion recovery groups very successfully. It will touch your heart and help you in your healing journey.

Calebsmom

It breaks my heart to realize that other people have gone thru what we've gone thru! If you're reading this, a piece of my broken heart goes out to you.This book was a gift from my best friend who felt so inadequate when we lost our son Christmas day 2001. It was several weeks before I was able to pick it up and read it. Of course, I cried thru the entire book but yet it eased my heart. My son is in a better place, and, while not a religious person, I found that extremely comforting.The book is scripture-based from a child's perspective. I've read it to my 5 year old more times than I can count. It's explained Caleb's death in a positive light (if there is such a thing). I still cry every time I read it, and yet I still want to read it, and cry with it, and be comforted by it.It's a short book, it's not a how-to-cope, it's simply a soothing book to help you look at the death of your child in a different perspective and know that someday you will be together again. I highly recommend this book for your broken heart.

I WILL SEE MY BABY AGAIN!

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.

uplifting, comforting book

I received a copy of this book after my first miscarriage last year. I felt devastated after this loss and had very little support thru the grief that followed. This book gave me great comfort and peace knowing that my child is with Jesus in heaven. With my second miscarriage, I was much more at peace because of this book's reaffirming message. Because of the way the book is written, it feels as if my children are talking to me. The pictures are beautifully done in a way that celebrates my children's lives in Heaven. The final pages always tug at my heart. What a message of hope. I have shared this book with other parents who have lost their children and each of them says the same thing. "As much as it brings tears to my eyes, it is a very comforting book. Thank you for sharing." This is a MUST read for all parents who have lost a child regardless of the circumstances.

What a sweet and comforting book

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.

Comfort, Peace & Joy to be found

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.
