Book Description

There are few things which any parent dreads more than the thought of outliving his or her child, or grandchild. The deaths of parents, friends, relatives and even one’s spouse are terrible indeed, but the death of one’s child possesses a peculiar kind of horror.

In four brief chapters, Peter Barnes draws on his own experience to offer help to those who have suffered such a loss. As he says in the Introduction, ‘This is not a work of apologetics, but a brief attempt to understand and work through grief, for myself, my family, and for any other readers. It has only heightened the sense of my own need to receive comfort myself. Such comfort can only come from the God who is our creator and our redeemer. The hope remains that God will use this book to minister to and bless any of his people who have suffered the agony of losing a child.’

    This book is a wonderful companion for the grieving Christian who has lost a child. This type of loss is an experience that is hard to relate to others in words, but Rev. Dr. Peter Barnes speaks from experience with gentle wisdom and care. After losing my daughter within the past year, I have sought out books that speak to this topic and have very much enjoyed and appreciated this small work. The encouragements and reminders are refreshing throughout and I left the book exhorted to look to Christ, our Rock and Hope on this side of eternity.
