If you are looking for a book to buy a parent who has lost a child (and you should, as books are a great source of comfort for information-hungry parents), this is the one to buy. I say this after having read more than a dozen grief books, probably two dozen, in my search fir a road map to help me cope. There is no answer for how you'll survive the loss, but hearing interviews with more than 50 bereaved parents, all of whom survived via slightly different path, cannot help but comfort you.

I plan to write a full review and essay on this book, and when that is done, I will post the link here. But in the meantime, I didn't want another day to pass without highly recommending this book for parents who have endured life's worst loss. Buy this book for yourself if no one gets it for you. Even if it's been years since your child died, as it has been for me (nearly six years! how can that be?) this book will be helpful to you.
