Where do you turn when the pain of losing a child feels overwhelming? When the weight of grief makes even the simplest daily tasks feel impossible, and your heart is searching for a reason to hold on to hope?
A Gift for the Bereaved Parent provides quiet, steady comfort for your darkest days. Written by Zamir Hussain, an experienced hospital chaplain who has spent years with grieving families, this book acts as a gentle verbal embrace. It doesn’t just offer theoretical answers, it acknowledges the inner voice of the bereaved parent, addressing the confusion, emotions and heavy questions that naturally arise during such a great loss.
This book gives you permission to be human while gently leading you to healing through faith. It is a resource so trusted that it is used throughout the NHS and by baby loss charities across the UK to provide spiritual solace when words often fail.
Designed with a calming aesthetic, this hardback 56-page book with ribbon marker, is easy to hold and read, even when your emotional energy is low. Its soothing motifs, calligraphic names of Allah and clear layout make it a beautiful guide to keep by your side or gift to a loved one in need.
More From The Author
Endorsements & Recognition
“As the title suggests this is a remedy for grief from the Islamic perspective informed by the two primary sources of Islam. However, it does not solely rely on these two sources for inspiration and solace. This small, hardcover and elegant book appropriately begins with Surah al-Fatihah about which the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) is quoted to have said that “there is a cure for everything in the Opening of the Book.” This is therefore a spiritually enriching and compassionate guide for those facing such a profound loss.”

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m currently overwhelmed and can’t focus on heavy reading. Is this book long?
No, it’s just 56 pages long and not all of them have words. It is designed specifically for those with very little emotional or mental energy with calming colours and soothing motifs. The chapters are short and the language is clear, making it easy to pick up for just a few minutes at a time.
Is the advice based on authentic Islamic sources?
Yes, the author is a qualified with an Honours degree in Islamic Studies. Every piece of comfort and guidance is strictly based on the Qur’an and authentic hadith.
I lost my child many years ago. Is it still relevant for me?
We were contacted by a father in his nineties who lost his adult daughter some years back. He was struggling to process his grief when his family gifted him the Urdu translation of A Gift for the Bereaved Parent. He said how much difference it had made to his life in being able to accept the loss and be at peace. So, yes, there is no expiry date on grief and this kind of book is always relevant and beneficial.
How does this differ from a general book on patience (sabr)?
While general books are helpful, this specifically addresses the unique anguish of child loss. It tackles the specific questions parents ask and uses the author’s clinical chaplaincy experience to map out the path to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Does it cover miscarriage and stillbirth as well?
While the themes of grief are universal, the author has written a dedicated companion titled A Gift for Parents after Miscarriage or Stillbirth which addresses those specific circumstances in more detail.
