Birth mother grief is a type of grief many don’t know at all, yet some know all too well. The author, Cynthia Christensen, trudged through her own grief after the adoption of her son, Joshua. Being a private person, she did not want to do one-on-one counseling so she decided to travel the path with only one counselor – Jesus. Walking alongside Jesus proved to be not only healing, but restorative and life changing. While counseling at an adoption agency and talking with others whose lives have been touched by adoption, Cynthia recognized that many post adoption birth mothers, birth fathers and family member never fully recovered from the grief of adoption. Restorative Grief is a Bible study written for the sole purpose of restoring broken hearts and shattered lives, by dealing with the pain of separation that follows the extremely emotional events leading up to the relinquishment of a child. Through her willingness to share the emotional and physical struggles she faced, Cynthia has used her experience to provide a step-by-step recovery process that will help lead the reader to a full recovery of mind, body, and soul through the healing power and love of Jesus Christ. Restorative Grief should leave its readers ready to rise up from the ashes and stand tall as Daughters of A King!
