Publisher's Description
When Mommies Cry details the journey of the author as she experiences the loss of her baby. Beth Withers Banning delves deep into her soul to express lessons she learned from her first-hand knowledge of grief and offers life lessons to assist in the grieving process for mothers everywhere. Ms. Withers Banning takes the reader through a personal narrative of her experience and shares on every level the emotions, reactions, associations, and results that came from losing her newborn son. The author has provided a resource to bring about healing for grieving mothers. In 2011, there were almost 24,000 known infant deaths in the United States and the average number of abortions per year is 1.06 million. Even more alarming, an estimated one in 75 conceptions miscarry, many of which create physical repercussions for the mother. These disturbing statistics expose the very real need for mothers who have lost or aborted a child. Millions of women are mourning in silence leaving their broken hearts vulnerable during the most susceptible time of their lives. When Mommies Cry is a valuable resource for grieving mothers. Joyce Landorf Heatherly, Owner/Author of Balcony Publishing, states, “Not too many of us that have gone through the loss of a loved one are able to articulate and record the devastation and at the same time reach and comfort the point of pain in another’s grief filled heart. But Beth Withers Banning does exactly that in When Mommies Cry. I know as she did it for me even though my son David died in 1964.” Ms. Withers Banning puts in print what some women who have gone through losing a child only think in their darkest hour. Women, as a whole, all want the same things--true happiness and fulfillment. When those things are threatened, lost, or severed in our lives, the journey back can be overwhelming. The author provides a step-by-step climb back to healing for the grieving mother. Because we are created for community, providing a forum for mothers to learn and grow from one another’s experiences can also help bring healing and produce beauty for ashes.

“When Mommies Cry is not only a perfectly titled book, but if you are looking for that special and unique understanding for your own personal tragedy, then read this book! The author wastes no time revealing her private and unspoken thoughts. She puts in print what some women who have gone through losing a child only think in the darkest hour. She comes from a place of authority because she has walked in those shoes and has come out the other side with thankfulness. Having worked with women for most of my adult life, it’s clear we’re all after the same thing – true happiness and fulfillment. For us women, that comes in big portions back to us from our children, our spouses, and our closest friends. When that relationship is threatened, lost, or severed, it can be a long uphill climb back. Ms. Banning shows us that our trust in the Lord, our total dependence on His Word is the first important step. The author gives good step by step how to master each turn on the road of loss and loneliness.”
“When Mommies Cry was borne out of Beth’s own devestating loss of her precious son, Charles. Her cries are our cries, her grief is our grief…it is my prayer sharing her journey will strengthen ours until that day when God shall wipe away all tears.”
“I would encourage every family member who has experienced the final decision of an abortion or the loss of a child to read this book. The story in this book will definitely bring you a peace and an understanding to forgiveness and even a return to personal respect. It will help rescue you from the pains and frustration of questions in the event of miscarriage or loss of a new born at any stage. Maranatha!”
