Songs for the Suffering by Julia Allspaw

I’m writing this review in hopes to save another mom some pain. But if you have recently lost your child, this book is NOT for us. I got this book after I lost my 6 month old daughter. I’m sure the author has all sorts of good intentions but she speaks of finding a lot of hope in her child, in words that felt just cruel to my broken momma heart. This definitely needs some sort of warning or caveat in the description that this is not helpful for child loss. Other than that I’m sure it’s great for other forms of grief

This was such a beautifully written book and it came at such a perfect time in the season I’m walking in.

I can tell this devotional is going to help me with the grieving of my mom. I'm only on week one, but so far it's been great!

Week 1 and already grateful that I purchased. Beautifully made! Came quick!

Love it

I cried my eyes out, but Such a beautiful read. 10/10

This was gifted to me in 2023 during a long year of suffering. I've now been through it almost three times. It is rich, comforting, and easy to pick up and slowly work through or just read each day. When you are grieving, sometimes a hefty Bible study feels daunting, but I love that this is rooted in truth and connects me to God + Scripture every day.

I’m only on week 3, but am absolutely in love. As a 19 year old learning to navigate the world without parents this book as already hit very hard and is helping to navigate my mourning process of losing my mom to cancer. Not only that, but, my dad has been an absent parent my entire life. I truly believe this study has fixed my mindset on the Lord through my trials. I highly recommend!!
