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. Looking for answers, Rachel began an in-depth study of what the Bible says regarding the life of the unborn, answering critical questions like, "When does life begin?", "Did God love my unborn baby?", and "Is my baby in heaven?"
A Water Lily among the Wildflowers teaches what the Bible says about these questions and many of the other questions grieving mothers have regarding this loss. Rachel notes how men and women grieve differently and offers tools to keep a marriage and relationship strong. She also addresses the wounding impact that other people have, taking a look at some of the hurtful statements many hear grieving the loss of their babies.
