Empty Arms

It is hard to imagine any greater pain that 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. 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 through all their dark and difficult days.

Keren Baker has been married to Steve for 15 years. They now have 5 children–Suzie, Heather, Harriet, Jame, and Will. They live in Liverpool where Keren settled after university and taught music before having children. She is no a stay-at-home Mum and in her spare time love scrapbooking, papercrafts and baking cupcakes! She and Steve are active members of their local church and enjoy running a house group at their home.

Mary Beeke says,

“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.”
