Inhaltsangabe

Many doctors, psychiatrists and therapists have written books about the grieving process. What makes this book unique is that it is written by someone who has experienced what you are now experiencing the loss of a child. In the pages that follow, writes Norma Sawyers-Kurz in the Introduction, I will try to help you understand what is happening to you and will provide you with appropriate ways for coping with grief so that you, too, can rebuild your life as I have. At this point, you may not feel you can overcome your child s death. You may feel, like I once did, that there is no escape from grief. Yet I escaped. It didn t happen overnight. It took many years of prayer and interaction with family, friends and professionals to cope with the death of my daughter. But I survived and, in this book, I will share with you some of the ways that you, too, can cope with and survive your own child s death. The 50 suggestions provided in this book are drawn from my own personal experience as well as from the expertise of many doctors, professors and others who have studied the grieving process. They are organized into 10 chapters that roughly parallel what experts call the stages of grieving. ... Of course, I cannot guarantee that reading this book will help everyone. But I hope some of the suggestions provide comfort to you and help heal your soul.
