5.0 out of 5 stars honest, harsh--at times, realistic and overwhelming, 23 April 1997

By A Customer

I work with pediatric oncology patients and their families and came across this book. I have recommended it to many many people,parents who have lost children as well as professionals. The overwhelming response is positive, that this is possibly one of the best books on the subject. However, this is not a book to give a newly bereaved parent/family. Some of the book can be too realistic at first. From the perspective of someone who works with bereaved parents and siblings this book is an excellent guide!

4.0 out of 5 stars A book to help you cope with the death of your child., 7 Mar 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book right after my daughter was killed in an auto accident. It helped me to understand the feelings I was experiencing. It also helped me deal with physical signs of grief as well as the mental stresses. I would recommend this book be read during the first 6 mths. after the death of a child because it deals greatly with the things that will occur in that first year of grieving.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book I've encountered on the loss of a child, 1 Jan 1998

By A Customer

As a bereaved parent I have read dozens of books on the subject over the past ten years. This is the best all-around book I have found! The effects of losing a child on a mother, a father, siblings, the marriage relationship, etc. are covered concisely with great sensitivity and insight from the author's broad experience working with bereaved families. It is a book that can be read immediately following the death and then periodically as one moves through the long and excruciating grief process.
