Bereaved Parent Summary

Bereaved Parent by Harriet Sarnoff Schiff

Bereaved parents can feel isolated because no-one could possibly know such a loss. Harriet Sarnoff Schiff, who lost her own ten-year-old son, can offer genuine understanding to other parents, drawing on her own experience, as only another grieving parent can. The worst has happened to you. Yet you can, and will, continue living. You must accept what has happened and look to the future, despite feeling that this is impossible. Explaining feelings of grief, guilt and hopelessness that affect all parents, Harriet Sarnoff Schiff also explains that the conflict between partners, the panic, isolation and despair that is also part of the experience of all parents who go through this loss. And she helps to guide any grieving parent through the grief process. A once-happy home can be transformed into a joyless place for parents, surviving children and friends. Yet this must not be allowed to endure. This book offers not only personal experience, but also the advice of other parents and psychiatric and religious counsellors. The Bereaved Parent is for parents at any stage of the grieving process, whether facing an imminent death, shocked by an accidental death, just after the burial of a child or whether they are still caught up in the long aftermath of depression. Describing the day-to-day decisions and difficulties to be faced, how to cope with the funeral, accepting the change in family life, protecting surviving children, re-building the marriage and coping with delayed reactions, The Bereaved Parent is a sensitive and comprehensive guide. It is the most recommended book for parents seeking help at a time when their world seems to have fallen apart.

Bereaved Parent Reviews

Comprehensive... For parents at any stage of bereavement, whether at the time of death or during the long aftermath. -- Virginia Ironside * Woman *
Comprehensive... For parents at any stage of bereavement, whether at the time of death or during the long aftermath. -- Cruse Bereavement Care
I do not believe that a parent can ever 'get over' the death of a child, because the flesh of your flesh, the blood of your blood, will always remain just that. -- Bel Mooney * The Times *
