There are many couples in this country, and abroad, who are facing infertility, with little hope of cure. Many are able to adopt either through traditional agencies or through foreign adoption. However, there is a forgotten group of infertile couples- those who cannot be cured and do not find adoption to be an option for their situation.
Beside the Empty Cradle combines real life stories with practical information and scriptural assistance to guide couples through the journey of infertility, arriving at a place of rest and contentment in God's plan for their lives. Scripture, insight from the author's husband, and stories from other couples are woven throughout the book.
Drawing from personal experience with infertility followed by cancer, Pamela Sonnenmoser confronts the emotional struggles, physical pain and mental anguish experienced by couples grieving the children they will never have. Then confrontation gives way to celebration as the author brings her own experience full circle, finally becoming content beside the empty cradle and looking to the future of hope in God's plan for her marriage and her life
