Grieving Together: A Couple’s Journey through Miscarriage

Winner of Association of Catholic Publishers 2019 Excellence in Publishing Award

Amazon Bestseller in Christian Death & Grief

Drawing from real-life experiences of parents who have experienced this heart-breaking loss, Grieving Together: A Couple’s Journey through Miscarriage is a companion through the common questions, crises, and grief that arise after the death of a child. The book offers Catholic resources for miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss, including Scripture, prayers, official Church rites, and theological teaching that speaks to the toughest questions surrounding the loss of a child: Why did God let this happen? Is our baby in heaven? How could this suffering be part of God’s plan? Unlike resources that focus only on mothers, Grieving Together also speaks to the unique concerns of fathers and offers a practical and compassionate guide through grief to help couples grow together through their loss.

“Grieving Together is for couples who have opened themselves up to the gift of children and have experienced the deepest loss and grief the human heart can understand. As I read I was moved to tears, not only remembering our own child in eternity, but with gratitude for the healing that this book will help bring to countless grieving parents. Grieving Together is a wealth of practical information and emotional and spiritual support in a time often marked by confusion, fear, and pain.”

“This book is a self-contained support group for individuals or couples experiencing infertility, miscarriage, or infant death. Through personal testimonies of loss, experiences in the stages of grief and the accompaniment of God’s presence, the authors will accompany the reader in a way that can be powerfully healing. Thoughtful questions directed specifically to the man or woman provide a means for couples to discuss and communicate their thoughts, allowing growth through what is often a very traumatic experience. Definitely a must have pastoral companion for an important need.”

“This book is a godsend for anyone grieving the loss of a pregnancy. It’s written with clarity, sensitivity, and compassion, and is equally accessible to women and men. Losing a pregnancy can feel like wandering through the wilderness, but this book is an invaluable guide and the Fanuccis are the wisest and most encouraging of fellow travelers. It’s not a stretch to say that lives will be changed by this beautiful, much-needed book.”
