Five or more years after the death of their children, 25 families open their hearts and share stories of courage, hope and attempts to make sense out of the most unbearable loss of all. They speak of what they did to move on with their lives, to make each day meaningful again, while remembering their child. Stories deal with children of all ages and a variety of backgrounds. They include deaths from accidents, suicides, miscarriages, stillbirths, sickness, drugs and alcohol. Parents explain what they have done over the years since their child or all their children died and how they channeled their grief constructively by setting up memorials for their child, working as volunteers, getting their cause through the legislature and for some, turning to spirituality. In addition to helping themselves, these parents also help others and give advice to those still having difficulty living in a world without their child. Those not bereaved find this book helpful in learning how to deal with and what to say to a grieving parent. Losing a child is the most unbearable loss of all. These brave parents let us into their world in the hope that others will understand what they are going through.
