Description
When the Bough Breaks presents a breakthrough concept of mourning, documenting the process of evolution from initial grief to an altered outlook on life. Excerpts from interviews with 50 parents who lost a child from five to forty-five trace the road from utter devastation to a revised view of life, resulting in a work that is a tribute to resilience and the indomitable human spirit.
Author Judith R. Bernstein, Ph.D., speaks from the dual perspectives of bereaved parent and psychologist. She weaves keen psychological insight with the voices of parents to achieve an intelligent volume that is at once heartbreaking and heartwarming. The wisdom of her science and her heart combine to result in a book that teaches the psychology of bereavement with profound tenderness.

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.
