A huge blessing for our young family

We lost our 4th child after 32 days at the NICU. Our other children where 6, 4 and 2 years old . Our baby was born full term and even after being sent to the nicu we assumed that our baby would go home. We had assured our children that things would be okay. But the baby ended up going to heaven and this book was of untold value in explaining that the baby would not be coming home but would instead be going to live in heaven.
This is not based on religion. But we are very religious and easily works for any faith.
I remeber coming home from the hospital and thinking "how am I ever going to tell my children, what can you possible say to make a child understand what happend" This helped me ever so much and I am truly thankful for it!
It worked perfect for my children's ages also one is autistic and was helpful getting him to understand.

Simple and True

As Adults we often try to find specific words to express our thoughts and feelings. Even though this is a child's book, I bought it with the hope that it's simple words would give me a small measure of comfort that I so desperately needed. Sometimes the words we long to hear are a simple reflection of the child within us all, and it fills the simplicity that we crave. Thank you for giving a mommy with a loss a way to express herself with this book.

Explains Miscarriage to a Preschooler Directly, and Beautifully.

I miscarried at 11 weeks, and while my husband and I were able to explain things and console our 3-year old daughter, this book also helped her understand that other kids have gone through this pain, and felt the way she felt. Written for the preschool set and beautifully illustrated, "...Angel Instead"'s young narrator speaks directly and honestly to your child about the sadness and uncertainty of miscarriage. There are no happy endings in this book, but your child will come away feeling less alone - mine did. Excellent notes at the end of the book about parenting a grieving child are well worth a read-through or two.

Great Book for Toddlers

I found this book to be excellent in explaining what happened to our toddler. I have never seen a book that deals with this subject that is appropriate for a small child. This is a great book and I sincerely wish it wasn't neccessary for ANYONE to purchase it, but in this situation, it portrays what is happening.

really helpful...even with adults

this breaks down the emotions and helps give you the words to explain to children and other adults
