In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dcn. Gerard-Marie Anthony and Dr. Sabine Heisman on The Deacon and the Doctor (April 12, 2022)

The Deacon and the Doctor: A Prescription for Navigating Child Loss provides a spiritual, medical, psychological guide to help families A.C.Q.U.I.R.E peace after child loss. As one in four women experience miscarriage, it is essential to provide resources, bring awareness, and teach the community how to engage appropriately so these families are supported properly. Our hope is this book will help families and the community navigate the many obstacles encountered after child loss.

The International Theological Commission, with the approval of Pope Benedict XVI, offers a theologically-grounded hope of that in "The Hope of Salvation for Infants who Die without Being Baptised" located online at https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/cti_documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20070419_un-baptised-infants_en.html

"The conclusion of this study is that there are theological and liturgical reasons to hope that infants who die without baptism may be saved and brought into eternal happiness, even if there is not an explicit teaching on this question found in Revelation. However, none of the considerations proposed in this text to motivate a new approach to the question may be used to negate the necessity of baptism, nor to delay the conferral of the sacrament. Rather, there are reasons to hope that God will save these infants precisely because it was not possible to do for them that what would have been most desirable— to baptize them in the faith of the Church and incorporate them visibly into the Body of Christ."
