Author Deb Gruelle writes candidly of her struggle to create a family. She writes about the cycle of hope and grief, and the sorrow of the loss of a baby during pregnancy.
She also explains various medical interventions and examines them from a biblical perspective: Fertility drugs Artificial Insemination (AIH) In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer (IVF/ET) Donor sperm, eggs, ad embryos Surrogacy To anyone living with the daily ache of infertility, Deb Gruelle offers encouragement and biblical direction. Aching for a Child also contains insights for those who ache with the infertile couple.
After six years of primary infertility, Deb did become pregnant, but later continued to struggle with secondary infertility and miscarriages over a total of 17 years.
Deb Gruelle is a recovering technical writer who has also written articles for American Baby magazine, and for RESOLVE newsletters. She helped establish and run a support group for ten years for Christian women dealing with infertility, miscarriage, and stillbirth.
“I’m so glad this book is updated and available again, because it’s been my number one book to share with those with hurting hearts. … I pray that it will have as much impact for you as it did for me. God is seeing your pain like He saw mine and will use this book to speak His love for you through it.”
