I have been recommending it to my family and friends, both as a tool for those who are closest to and going through the process with me, and to help those a little further away understand what I am going through.The book is broken down into sections, allowing the reader to read the book in order or move around the topics without losing the thread. The authors, who have each been through the loss of a child, provide introductions and occasional explanations but mostly step back and let the voices of the various families to speak. The book is incredibly comprehensive, taking the reader through nearly every step of the process as far as I can tell, from receiving the news to going through funeral services, if that's desired. It discusses parts of the process that are especially difficult to think about, such as wanting to see one's baby even when you know they are likely to be severely disfigured. The complicated feelings that can arise in this situation, including joy and fear and guilt, are discussed without judgment. Religious perspectives are covered as a topic and come up fairly often in many of the individual quotes, but the book is overall neutral in this regard.A couple of things I would have liked to see more of: while there are references to families who have chosen to carry a twin pregnancy to term when only one child is expected to survive, but the book is unfortunately not comprehensive in this regard- perhaps because the situation is so very unusual. I also did not notice any discussion whatsoever of being a single parent in this situation, which as a single parent myself I was sorry for.Ultimately, this book is an irreplaceable resource for two main reasons:1. It will help parents feel understood and less alone. It validates the feelings and personal experiences of parents, family members, and friends who are involved in a situation of terminal prenatal diagnosis.2. It may help inform parents of rights they did not know they had. Many hospitals and medical professionals provide wonderful supportive services; some, unfortunately, may not have the training or sensitivity that one would wish for. The information and stories in this book will help parents understand what they can and might want to ask for or insist on. This is critically important in a time when everything is frightening and confusing and parents may feel helpless.I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you or someone you know are in this devastating position, there will be something of use or comfort to you. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Required Reading *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2013* A Gift of Time is, indeed, a gift to all who are continuing a pregnancy or caring for someone in this challenging situation. The stories are the heart of the book; so many perspectives, suggestions, regrets, and lessons are shared. We made this a required book on our well-crafted booklist for our Baby Loss Doulas at LossDoulasInternational.com When these parent advocates/companions reach out to help families whose babies will die, they need Amy and Debbie's advice and the wise stories within the book, to help them learn how to give support, guidance and help with creating their Birth Plan or Vision. A Gift of Time helps ease the burden of how to plan for and meet special babies who are destined to die. There is no point in reinventing wheels, why not start with what others have done and work from there when one is heading toward such deep and important decisions? One of the resources that can in turn help with Birth Planning and the decisions ahead, is the book Empty Arms: Coping with Miscarriage, Stillbirth, and Infant Death. It is a gentle, practical, self-help guide to the hospital time and beyond.  Empty Arms: Coping After Miscarriage, Stillbirth and Infant Death . Sherokee Ilse ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely helpful read *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2018* I would recommend this to both parents of children diagnosed with terminal illness in utero as well as those healthcare providers working alongside patients going through these situations. My son has been diagnosed with Trisomy 18 and I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and plan to carry to term. This has helped me gain a lot of positive insight and considerations and I feel that I can confidently move forward and try to find the blessings in this situation despite the despair. I also feel far more prepared to face a possible still birth or make the cumbersome medical decisions that may need to be made. There is a lot of practical wisdom found in the pages of this book from parents who have “been there.” This book will help ease fears, process grief, and give comfort to parents facing one of the hardest things a person can ever be asked to face. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2820212-a-gift-of-time-continuing-your-pregnancy-when-your-babys](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/2820212-a-gift-of-time-continuing-your-pregnancy-when-your-babys) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-11-06*
