5.0 out of 5 stars No one should have to read this book, 16 Sep 1997
By A Customer
This book contains some of the most painful, and at the same time the most helpful writing I have read since the death of my own son. Those who will choose to read it will do so because they have experienced the most devastating loss imaginable - the death of a child. Ann Finkbeiner is right when she says her book is not for the newly bereaved. There are no comforting platitudes, no 12 steps, no meditations. No words of wisdom, no instructions for "getting over it", since, as she says, and everyone who has been there knows - there IS no getting over it. There's just learning a different way to live the rest of your life, learning to live with the pain. You'll only read it if you have the need to, and if you have need to, please know that I'm very sorry.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice try, but too light, 20 April 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: After the Death of a Child: Living with Loss through the Years (Paperback)
I'd agree with Charleston; better books exist on the subject. ("Gili's Book", for one)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work on a difficult subject., 15 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This was one of the most helpful books I have read on the death of a child over the past ten years. My son died sixteen years ago and I was very interested to read a book dealing with the long term results of the loss of a child. This book dealt with many topics which are covered in the majority of books on grief but dealt with them from the view of parents who have moved several years away from the loss. After all, when a child dies you are still dealing with that death five years later, ten years later and throughout the remainder of your lifeCfs
