Recapturing the Joy: "Bridging the Grief Gap": Volume 2 - Softcover

Recapturing the Joy ~ "Bridging the Grief Gap" "was written to provide information that will assist in closing the huge gap that currently exists in society between those I call the "outside world folks" and bereaved parents. There are many misconceptions, myths that need debunking, and some work to be done in the communication area between these two groups, and each group needs to play in order for things to improve. While on my grief journey many years ago as a bereaved Mom, I became very cognizant of what was working, what wasn't working, and it became a passion of mine to work toward removing the stigmas and barriers that block us all. This book is one of the results of that passion. Bereaved parents feel misunderstood and the non-grievers feel ill-equipped to assist them. Child loss is a tragedy of immense proportions and the journey of a bereaved parent is one that is long and arduous. If you are someone who is wishing to develop a level of comfort in this area of grief and bereavement or if you are a bereaved parent who wishes to understand what we, as bereaved parents, could do differently in efforts to bridge this chasm, this is the book for both of you. It is a no-nonsense, common sense exposure of everything we are fearful of addressing. It contains what we each need to know about the other so we can create a level playing field for all. It is all about truth ~ the good, the bad, and the ugly. I would encourage you to join the bridge club. I believe you will be glad you did! Much love ~ Deborah
