When a mother loses a baby, a depth of grief emerges unlike anything else. Confusion, frustration, and heartbreak overwhelm her mind. A questioning and wrestling with God unfolds, and she must learn how to navigate her life that is now forever changed. This was the story of Rachel Dickey, a registered nurse who tragically lost her son at eighteen weeks gestation. Having faced this overwhelming grief, she speaks directly to listeners about her firsthand experiences and encourages moms to look to the truth of Scripture as they navigate their loss.

This story is my testimony of how, after suffering great personal losses-five family members in two and a half years, including the loss of my spouse of thirty-one years, which was the most devastating loss of all-I was resigned to end my life. My story takes the reader through the darkest moments in dealing with grief and quest for our purpose in life. I wanted to give a raw, honest account of my feelings so I held nothing back. My story will take you through my heartache, pain, and thoughts of suicide with many twists and turns.
