Description: It is hard to imagine any greater pain than that of losing a little child. It is like an amputation, so that though one may learn to live with the loss, the parent is never the same again. In the English language we have a word for those who have lost their parents: an orphan.  We have a word for those who have lost their spouse: a widow or widower.  We have no word for those who have lost a child.  It is as if the very thought is too painful to put into words.

Steve and Keren Baker have had to endure such heartbreak when their lives were turned upside down by the sudden death of their little daughter Nattie. In the midst of her grief Keren has written this highly personal, yet intensely practical, account of her continuing journey through this painful time, and of how the God she loves sustains his people throughout all their dark and difficult days.

"Empty Arms is an intensely practical book which has as its basis the autobiographical experience of a lovely family ravaged by death. Everyone would benefit from reading and understanding about bereavement, but for anyone in a similar situation to the Bakers, this account is not only a text book but a tonic, and may be even a true friend."
--Roger Carswell

"From the depths of her aching heart, a grieving mother gives words to the emotions that swell and surge after the sudden loss of a child. Keren Baker takes us from the sad, depressing grave of little Natalie on up to the portals of heaven, where the everlasting arms of love of the Lord Jesus envelop this precious girl, and encircle her family here below. There is no pain like the pain of losing a child, but there is no comfort like the comfort of Christ and Christian friends."
--Mary Beeke, Mother, teacher, and wife of Dr Joel E. Beeke
