One of life's most traumatic moments is losing your child. This may be from an event such as miscarriage, stillborn or early childhood death from illness, accident, or hostile intent. But loss is not always death; you can lose your child in a divorce or through drug addiction or estrangement. Losing a child who is now an adult is no less devastating. The sad fact is that this pain is an often unspoken burden that you will carry forever. Over time, people expect you to move on, but you live daily with your grief. This book offers a chance for parents to tell their stories of loss in a non-judgmental forum. It discusses frankly the feelings of guilt and anger, but also ponders philosophical aspects of life's meaning and gives hope. The hope is that the parent can live a meaningful life in spite of their grief. The author shares her own personal and professional stories of loss, acquired over thirty years of maternal nursing. Here is a place to find comfort when you are alone with your grief.
