Product Description
Product Description
The death of a child is an unimaginable loss no parent ever expects to face. In Beyond Tears, nine mothers share their individual stories of how to survive in the darkest hour. They candidly share with. other grieving parents what to expect in the first year and long beyond: Harmonious relationships There is a new definition of what one considers "normal" The question "how many children to you have?" can be devastating Mothers and fathers mourn and cope differently There simply is no answer to the question "why?" This sharing in itself is a catharsis and because each of these mothers lost her child at least seven years ago, she is in a unique position to provide perspective on what newly bereaved parents can expect to feel. The mothers of Beyond Tears offer reassurance that the clouds of grief do lessen with time and that grieving parents will find a way to live, and even laugh again.

Having read this book after losing a child myself, I got such comfort that these nine mothers could articulate through their writings how I have felt, feeling now and how I will feel in the future. I have found this book to be a hand to reach out and pull me along in my darkest hours knowing I am not alone in my pain!

I would recommend this book to bereaved parents and to professionals and families and friends supporting them.
The book is written in a friendly easy to read style. it makes you really feel that you are in a room talking with these 9 mums.
It is also reassuring to know you are not alone with your thoughts and feelings.
I have already lent this book to a non-bereaved friend who says it has given her real insight into the realities of it all.

I've read a number of books since losing my daughter a few months ago. This is the book I found most useful. It is written by a group of 9 bereaved mums plus a professional (non-bereaved) editor. This worked well - as the book was clear and well written - and pulled together the disparate views of the group of mums - you had a sense of how different mothers responded to stuff differently, which I found really helpful. Structure was vey easy to deal with - eg. a chapter on how losing a child affected intimate relationship made lots of generic, sensible points that applied to everyone - as we all have initimate relationships. Other books I've read have tended to divide chapters into categories like - affects on sibling etc... which don't apply to everyone. All in all, definitely woth a read.
