In her new book, Miscarried Joy: Moving Beyond Incredible Pain to Extraordinary Faith, Tanika Fitzgerald ministers to women experiencing the grief of pregnancy loss and stillbirth. Tanika herself experienced the grief and isolation of miscarriage in 2015. She opens her book with the candid account of her own experience of miscarriage. She reaches out to the grieved reader as a personal friend and mentor. For many women, the solace and comfort received from Tanika's book might be the only companionship during their own pregnancy loss journey. As Tanika points out, miscarriage and pregnancy loss is more common than many believe. But, because of the stigma surrounding pregnancy loss, many women must grieve alone. This book is a resource to read multiple times, and to have handy by the bedside for sleepless nights and times of grief. There are plenty of scripture verses as well as bible anecdotes that are used to help guide any grieving mother when facing the loss of her child no matter what stage in pregnancy the loss occurred. This is the perfect book for anyone experiencing pregnancy loss. And for those painful times when there are no other words of comfort- this makes a comforting resource. One of the best most poignant aspects of this book is that it is written from a point of view of incredible faith. Tanika wrote this book despite the fact that she currently does not have any living children. She writes from the point of view of patience and in a time of uncertainty which makes her words even more powerful and applicable. Not every mother has a happy ending or a baby here while on Earth. The fact that the author has written this powerful book while still patiently waiting on God -serves as a reminder that if this type of faith is possible for her, that maybe it is also possible for those who have not been able to have children either.
