Even Though, We Will

Finding Rest in the Waves of Child Loss and the Practical Arks that Carry Us Through

In 2019, Matthew and Hannah Efird received a terminal prenatal diagnosis for their son, Noah Clifton. They chose to carry him to term. Noah lived for 57.5 hours. This is the unfiltered story of what happened next, and the practical tools that carried them through.

Challenging Every Room to Think Bigger

Matthew connects best with entrepreneurs, parents, and people of faith. He speaks from lived experience, not a lecture hall, and every room leaves challenged to grow through their circumstances, not be defined by them.

Written from the Middle of It

Matthew Efird is not writing from a distance. He is writing from the middle of it. And what he has built inside these pages is something rare: a book that is genuinely FOR the person who is hurting.

Jeff Henderson Bestselling Author; Executive Director, Chick-fil-A

I was there for Noah's story. I watched Matthew and Hannah navigate those 57.5 hours with a grace and a faith that I have never forgotten. What Matthew has written is not theory. It is lived truth.

Dr. Atul Khurana, M.D. Medical Director, Level III NICU, Piedmont Athens Regional

Matthew and his family have not wasted their suffering. They have let God spend it for the glory of His kingdom, and we are all better for it. Every pastor and disciple-maker needs this resource.
