Gladsome Rose: A Bereaved Mother's Journey into Faith

The inspiring story of what one Orthodox Christian mother discovered in her lonesome journey down the road Jesus walked just before He died when He asked, My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? The story of her child's death is told with much pathos but always from the perspective of her hope in the resurrection. She tells how the greatest spiritual growth in her life occurred as a result of her child's death.

A helpful book for mothers of miscarried or stillborn babies

Mrs. Lafakis's book centers on her experience of bearing a stillborn daughter (the "Gladsome Rose" of the title) and on her process of grief and healing following the birth. Mrs. Lafakis, an Orthodox Christian, experienced severe tests of her faith in the years following the loss of her daughter, and the book chronicles these trials. Ultimately, however, "Gladsome Rose" is a life affirming, faith strengthening book. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with a similar loss.
