In 2010, Maddox Lucille McClintic entered the world weighing a little over six pounds. She arrived with something few people have: an extra twenty-first chromosome. Unknown to her mother at the time, Maddox would soon amaze the entire world with life-changing moments, beautiful magic, and an abundance of love.
In a multifaceted biography and self-help guide, Dr. Jamie McClintic interweaves beautiful images with her experiences and perspectives to chronicle her complex grief and acceptance process after learning Maddox was diagnosed with Down syndrome. Her story is followed by clinically based guidance and concludes with concise key takeaways for those too overwhelmed with information. Finally, each chapter closes with self-reflection activities generated in support with a mental health specialist that will provide the hands-on strategies needed to work through the grief process.
Grieving the Gift will coach parents and caregivers of disabled children how to unwrap and embrace the most influential gift they will ever receive: the gift of a precious life.

“Her story will leave you breathless, but hopeful and stronger every day. Tackling the darkest of taboos, Dr. Jamie McClintic takes us on a journey many have travelled, yet very few have shared. Grieving the Gift is the most profoundly honest account that I have encountered as she unexpectedly learns her baby has a disability. But what makes this book so invaluable is Dr. McClintic doesn’t leave you wallowing in her despair. She gives the reader remarkable insight, practical tools, and learned guidance to help one navigate through heartbreak to recognizing the joy of the unexpected.…This is her gift.”

“Jamie is a very skilled author. She has a knack for taking your mind to the scene she is describing. Grief is such a hard topic to discuss, but Jamie hit it out of the park.”

“So proud of Jamie and her vulnerability. Any parent would benefit from the tools offered in this book.”

“Grieving the Gift is a book that is greatly needed. In parenting a child with a disability or special need, parents go through their own emotional journey of grieving the child they never had, but had expected and anticipated, before they can fully appreciate the child they do have. This process is not easy but is so necessary. Jamie gives practical, simple exercises and actionable steps to walk the reader through that process with care and understanding.”
