Summary : It can be very painful when your parent dies after a long and happy life. If they died unexpectedly or while younger this can be very difficult to cope with. For many of us, the death of a parent is a significant loss. It changes many aspects of our lives and will have an impact on the whole family. Feelings may be complicated. There is no 'right' way to grieve, and everyone experiences bereavement differently. However, there are some common feelings that many people share, and these can painful, surprising, or even frightening. This book is a collection of stories written after the death of a parent. The focus is not the grief, the sense of loss, the terrible sadness, but rather the simpler things. This is about the intricate and universal workings of family - regrets, learning, problem-solving, daily life, and most definitely, love.

Summary : The death of a parent brings a special kind of grief. When a parent dies, we lose a unique connection with our roots, our past, our identity and our childhood - and we are forced to confront our own mortality. Often the practicalities of bereavement take over, leaving us unable to focus on the complex realities of this loss, or platitudes and easy answers are proferred, distracting us from the grieving process. The work of grief, in fact, can take years and may change our view of life profoundly. Losing a Parent looks at how we may find meaning in what has happened. It covers both terminal illness and sudden death, helps you to navigate feelings of abandonment, and to understand the new family dynamics after loss. It will show you how, where and when to seek further support and offer you the reassurance you need to actually get on with your life after this difficult and painful time.
