Surviving the Unthinkable: The Loss of a Child - Paperback

"This is an eye-opening, heart warming, life-giving book, filled with hope, truth, faith, inspiration, motivation, and day by day comforting suggestions - a real GPS for the heart and soul, reflecting her personal loss, and her wealth of knowledge as nurse and college professor, told in her warm, inviting, down-to-earth writing style giving her readers confidence and tools to survive, believing they will have a meaningful life again. Although the book is focused on bereaved moms with a section written especially for family and friends, it's practical, powerful message delivered through numerous, valuable topics can inspire anyone who lost a loved one, tenderly guiding them through the challenges and roller coaster ride of grief and all there is to learn about the Grief Process. As a bereaved mom who lost a son and daughter in a car accident, a TCF Chapter Leader for 26 years, a columnist for Grief Digest for 14 years, Diocesan Bereavement Coordinator of 134 parishes for 12 years, and author of The Death of a Child, Reflections for Grieving Parents, I love this healing book and highly recommend it - a great gift that talks to your heart giving you courage to make good choices."
