Expecting Sunshine A Journey of Grief, Healing, and Pregnancy After Loss

After her son, Zachary, dies in her arms at birth, Alexis Marie Chute disappears into her “Year of Distraction.” She cannot tap into the heart of who she used to be, mourning not only for Zachary, but also for the future they might have had together. It is only when Chute learns she is pregnant again that she sets out to find healing and rediscover her identity. In the forty weeks of her pregnancy, Chute grapples with her strained marriage, shaken faith, and medical diagnosis. Expecting Sunshine chronicles the anticipation and anxiety of expecting a baby while still grieving for the child that came before.
