The Worst Loss: How Families Heal from the Death of a Child

This is the best book I have read since losing our 17 year old son to suicide a year ago. It really relates to all the feelings you go through when the worst thing in the world happens to you... losing your child.

This book is comforting and helpful. All the emotions and fears are written about and you feel like someone else really understands what you are going through.

Great Book

This book was a great resource for me and my family. My sister lost her daughter instantly in a car accident and of course the whole family was devastated. This book helped us through the grieving process and reminded us that we were not alone. I was reading this book in the aisle of a B&N store and started crying and a woman shared her story with me. She had just lost her mother and had read this book. She commented on how wonderful the book was and I bought it. It was the best book I could have purchased and I passed it on to my sister who said along with our prayers, this book got her through the initial grieving processes.

tHE ONLY BOOK I'VE FOUND THAT MADE SENSE TO ME

I lost my daughter in 1996, i bought this book ten years ago.It is the only book i've found that makes sense to me about what we go thru after loosing a child. I have a support group for parents who have lost children and i am recommending this book to them!

The best of all the grief books I have read.

I lost my son several years ago, and I still refer to this book as I reach new stages of my journey. The word pictures she creates are so clear; such as our imaginary canopy that keeps us safe, which has now been taken away. She understands the feelings I have felt, so I understand that these feelings are okay.

Finally, One That Understands

We lost our 19yr old college freshman son to Congestive Heart Faliure three months ago. This book is the only one I've read that really understands what we are going through. It's compassionate, loving, and not clinical. If offers wonderful advise on the worst of all topics, like what about his room?
