Today's review of Unexpected Tears comes from a friend who knows all too well the grief of losing a child. Though I did not physically lose a child that I once carried in my womb, her reaction to my grief in the book confirmed to me that I went through a very similar grieving process. Adoption loss is huge and comes with a very deep grief that so few will ever understand. This book bonded my friend and I in a way we never expected.
This is a wonderful book about faith and the honest struggles when going through trials and grief. I found myself relating to so many things in the book and I have never even thought about adopting a child.
Thank you, Amy, for sharing your thoughts in this review and then for sharing them more vulnerably with me as you read through the book. I cherish the friendship that you and I have recently developed.
About Me
- Rachelle D Alspaugh
- I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.
