Loved Baby left me spellbound. I cried and rejoiced at the same
time at the healing power that God can bring.
--Jenn Hand, author of 31 Days of Coming Alive and director of
Coming Alive Ministries I wish I'd had this book to read days after
my loss instead of using "Dr. Google" and the like for information
on miscarriage.
--Emily Aziz, CPA
Christian women who have known the unfathomable pain of pregnancy
loss at any stage need this devotional. The writer Sarah Philpott
is with you on your journey, and through her transparency regarding
her own loss, recovery, and faith walk, she offers guidance on
healing for mothers post-loss.
--Autumn L. Carusillo, PHD, LCSW The death of a baby is one of the
worst and most traumatic experiences of a parent's life. The grief
that follows is all-consuming and often isolating. Sarah Philpott
has created a way for parents to process their own grief journey
while being reassured they are not alone. Loved Baby is a beautiful
resource for bereaved parents in their darkest days.
--Lindsey J. Wimmer, CPNP, CPLC, executive director of Star Legacy
Foundation
I feel like this book was instrumental in my healing from my
miscarriages, almost seven years since my last one.
--Jenny Tilley, RN Loved Baby deals with a topic so dear to my
heart because of my experience with three years of infertility and
the loss I experienced with my first two babies. I would have given
anything to have someone walk me through that season with spiritual
insight as well as personal experience. This is why I am thrilled
about my friend Sarah Philpott's new book. Whether you are still
grieving or not, you can trust her with your heart.
--Jennifer Watson, author, pastor, and writer,

I have known Sarah Philpott since the moment she was born. As the
doctor who delivered her into this world in 1982, I experienced the
joy that comes with new life. I have known her family for over
fifty years. In fact, I delivered for her mother when she gave
birth to her child born still. I have marveled at Sarah's growth
into a talented, deeply Christian wife, mother, and community
servant. She is a dynamic, persistent, and dedicated young woman.
Her career has consisted of writing many professional publications.
Her dedication to intense research and careful analysis, combined
with her innate skills interviewing and bonding with other women
who have had similar outcomes, has resulted in this inspiring
narrative, Loved Baby. She informs the reader about the trials and
struggles mothers and fathers face in their post-loss journeys. She
gives hope to those who think they will never conceive again or be
successful at giving birth following the loss of a child. As the
readers of this beautiful testimony will find out, Sarah has
succeeded in giving others, even in the darkest times of their
grief, the courage to face challenges and to return to a life of
normalcy. She has walked with God on her path and knows that,
through all things, if our faith is strong and the support of our
beloved family and friends is present, we can overcome the
adversities associated with this devastating occurrence. It is a
distinct honor and pleasure to recommend Sarah's heart-felt
thoughts to those who have endured pregnancy loss and those who try
to help and support their loved ones. Loved Baby will fill you with
healing, hope, and God's love.
--Shelley F. Griffith, MD "They instinctively knew to show me quiet
love" is only one example of the exquisite healing words Sarah
Philpott uses to help those of us grieving after a pregnancy loss.
Her remarkable insights, coupled with her enormous compassion, give
us the guidance and strength we need to walk through this
devastating journey and know we are not alone. If you have ever
loved someone who has suffered through a pregnancy loss, Loved Baby
may well be the answer to a prayer. I am grateful for Sarah's
ability to impart her wisdom and spirituality, hope and grace for
all of those who will benefit the most. And bless the beautiful
babies in heaven who will live on in our souls forever.
--Lisa Leshaw, MS, CMHC mental health professional
In this book, you will feel like Sarah is speaking directly to you
as a gentle friend and a loving sister. She truly understands the
pain of loss and has a beautiful way with comforting words and
practical advice. I love that she pairs godly encouragement with
factual information about child loss to help address all parts of
grieving: the intellectual, spiritual, physical, and emotional. If
I had Loved Baby as a resource during the darkest stages of my
miscarriage, I certainly would not have felt so alone. The Loved
Baby ministry was instrumental in my healing, and I have faith that
this book will be instrumental in yours.
--Rosemary Ferrera, mother, former Miss Virginia, & Christian
blogger, SoulStrongFitness.com Loved Baby is the book I wish I had
after my first loss. Sarah Philpott is like a loving sister who has
been there, guiding us through. I love the easy-to-apply soul work
sections. I cried through most of the book. I would say that even
after months and months of grief counseling, reading almost every
book out there about pregnancy loss and how to cope, and being in a
support group, Loved Baby is what brought me the rest of the way. I
can't even find the best words to tell you how extremely helpful
this is going to be for so many women.
--Jessica Knipprath, mother
The first place I went after losing our baby to miscarriage was the
bookstore. I stared at the shelves looking for words of comfort and
hope, longing to find an author who would also feel like a friend
putting her arm around my shoulder. I wish Sarah's book had been
there then, and I'm so grateful it will be there for other women
like me now.
--Holley Gerth, best-selling author of You're Already Amazing,
holleygerth.com Our culture programs us to feel as though
motherhood should be all sunshine and roses--breakfasts in bed made
by beaming, freshly-bathed children. We learn to think that a woman
cannot fulfill her God-given destiny unless she nurtures the lives
God enabled her to bear. And yet, when one of those lives is lost,
or when life never begins, the world suddenly goes quiet, leaving
these women alone and suffering. Here's the key, though: When we
offer our hurts to God, He will bring healing. He is the salve that
soothes even the deepest wounds. Through Sarah's words in Loved
Baby, you will realize that you're not called to forget but to
welcome God into your pain. You can remember and honor and grieve
and be made whole again. With God, even this is possible. Step into
these pages like you're walking into God's comforting embrace,
because that's exactly what this book has to offer.
--Kelly O'Dell Stanley, author of Praying Upside Down and Designed

This book is the one I wish I'd had when I lost my first son the
day after he was born sleeping and my third son when I was
fifteen-weeks pregnant. For my aching, searching heart to have
God's truths and promises put together so compassionately and with
such honesty would have been a gift, and one I now will graciously
share with others who have to walk this life-changing path. God's
goodness and comfort flow freely from Sarah's heart and will bring
healing and redemption to so many.
--Lori Mullin Ennis, editor of Still Standing Magazine "Your
numbers have dropped," the nurse said. "Let us know if the bleeding
starts filling a pad every hour. I'm sorry." And with that, I
learned I was about to have my first miscarriage and second
pregnancy loss. A few days later, without bleeding or cramping in
sight, I took my husband to Barnes & Noble. I wanted to find
something--anything--I could read that would tell me what to
expect. The books I found (which weren't much) focused on family
planning, or, get this, how not to have a miscarriage. Seriously?
Women who miscarry needed help, and I found nothing that offered
it. In the meantime, our story kept going through three more losses
and our time with Z and finally our rainbow pregnancy with Ellie.
Thank goodness some of our friends have been in the trenches and
are ready to share their hearts and encouragement to women who need
a worthwhile resource. Sarah Philpott is one of my friends in the
baby loss community. Her book Loved Baby is a devotional and
journal for baby loss moms. You will want to get this book in your
hands!
