Precious Ones A Story of Infertility, Loss...and Hope

“Spring always follows Winter and new life breaks through again”.

Precious Ones is an honest and uplifting account of a woman's journey into motherhood which didn't follow the conventional storyline of conception, birth and child rearing. Instead she encountered relentless health battles and heartache. Starting out as a career-focused graduate and young wife to John, their path took them through infertility, intrauterine growth restriction, preterm birth, miracles, high risk pregnancy, stillbirth, fertility treatment and miscarriages. But she didn't allow the story to end there.

This book is not a recipe for a happy life, but rather a truthful testimony about how you can never ‘get over’ losing a child. Through the pages she describes the conversations she never thought she would have, thoughts she never wished she would think, anger she never imagined she would feel, and a love she could never fully describe to anybody else. What Claire demonstrates so eloquently is how to live a meaningful life in spite of the agony, while walking alongside her loss every day.

What resoundingly shines through the devastation is a renewed life built on faith, hope and community.
