The emptiness and anguish after miscarriage and infant loss are undefinable, often making it seem as though wholeness and peace will never again be possible, but we have a God for whom nothing is impossible.
In From Hollow to Hopeful: Navigating the Grief of Miscarriage and Infant Loss, Cheri Halvorson guides us through the biblical plan for mourning by interweaving her miscarriage experiences with insights from the Word of God and from her interviews with fifteen parents who also endured perinatal loss.
Cheri explains how the Lord’s design for the process of grief (called lamentation) leads us straight into His presence, the place where we are rescued, refreshed, and restored; where our hollowness is filled with a peace that passes all understanding; and where we learn how to grieve with hope—the confident trust in the Lord’s faithfulness and ability to care for His heartbroken children.
What People Are Saying About the Book
Cheri gives deeply kind instructions on how to process your grief, soaked in grace and tenderness, drawn from her own experiences. Her gentle humor, interwoven with comforting words, encourages those of us who have lost babies at any stage of development to allow ourselves to grieve.

When we found out we were pregnant , my husband and I felt our lives were changed forever; in an instant. I bought a book about what to expect when you're expecting and read it cover to cover. The day we lost our baby, our lives also changed forever; in an instant. I realized while reading Hollow to Hopeful, that I never had a what to expect with pregnancy loss book. No one really acknowledged our baby except us. There was no guided path to follow. Moving through the grief was lonely and confusing. This book was a needed source of healing for my heart. It provided that path through the loss that I still needed, even after 32 years. We are not alone and with God there is a way through. I don't praise him for sufferings because he is not the author of trouble; but I do praise him despite it. This book was a good reminder of God's plan for my life and all my children.
