Product Description

Review
An excellent, compassionate book. --Virginia Ironside, 'Woman'

Product Description
Bereaved parents can feel isolated because no-one could possibly know such a loss. Harriet Sarnoff Schiff, who lost her own ten-year-old son, can offer genuine understanding to other parents, drawing on her own experience, as only another grieving parent can. The worst has happened to you. Yet you can, and will, continue living. You must accept what has happened and look to the future, despite feeling that this is impossible. Explaining the feelings of grief, guilt and hopelessness that affect all parents, Harriet Sarnoff Schiff also explains that the conflict between partners, the panic, isolation and despair that is also part of the experience of all parents who go through this loss. And she helps to guide any grieving parent through the process. A once-happy home can be transformed into a joyless place for parents, surviving children and friends. Yet, this must not be allowed to endure. This book offers not only personal experience, but also the advice of other parents and psychiatric and religious counsellors. The Bereaved Parent is for parents at any stage of the grieving process, whether facing an imminent death, shocked by an accidental death, just after the burial of a child or whether they are still caught up in the long aftermath of depression. Describing the day-to-day decisions and difficulties to be faced, how to cope with the funeral, accepting the change in family life, protecting surviving children, re-building the marriage and coping with delayed reactions The Bereaved Parent is a sensitive and comprehensive guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lifeline read over and over again, 13 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This book was a lifeline to me after my son Robbie died in August 1997, he was 29. Harriett Sarnoff Schiff has been through the same experience but had also written about the experiences of many other parents. It makes you realise that you are not going mad, also that you are not alone. I have read this book many times and each time it gives me comfort and an understanding of the feelings of despair that I have. I would recommend the book to any bereaved parent but especially a mother.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best on the subject., 27 Jun 2002
By Gary Bentley (Manchester United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book has become my solemate. The thoughts and experiences of the author made the miriad of emotions my wife and I experienced easier to understand. The loss of our 11 year old daughter will be something we never "get over", this book reaffirms that moving on is not the same as letting go. I would recommend this book to anyone who has,and I quote "stared at hell and survived".
