Every page speaks both the depth of your compassion and the breadth of your knowledge. This book will be a wise companion on the difficult journey from loss to recovery." — Robert Kastenbaum, Ph.D., author of The Psychology of Death "How to Survive the Loss of a Child is a godsend to those in the field as well as to those of us in need of such a resource for our own mourning." — Eugene Knott, Ph.D., University of Rhode Island "Dr. Sanders' insights are profound and poignant." — Patricia Geiger, M.D., pediatrician, Boone, North Carolina "Thank you so much for all that you do for bereaved parents but especially for writing How to Survive the Loss of a Child. I know that it has changed lives. It changed mine!" — Nancy Ulmer, bereaved parent, Kindermourn, Charlotte, North Carolina It is only through experiencing grief that bereaved parents ultimately heal. Moving through the phases of grief, the bereaved person works toward restoration. Understanding these phases, knowing what to expect, and learning what they can do to help themselves give parents greater assurance and comfort. In How to Survive the Loss of a Child, Dr. Sanders, a bereaved parent herself, offers grieving parents practical help and emotional support. This book also helps family members, friends, and caregivers relate to grieving parents and aids them, too, in understanding the process of healing through grief. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This book will be your companion in the face of lossI found and purchased this book for my daughter in desperation, and to help myself, and I purchased more for everyone around us so that we could refer to it to help ourselves understand what we were experiencing in the loss of her daughter, my granddaughter.

Since then I have read many books on bereavement and this book continues to be one of my favorites. Catherine M. Sanders is a psychologist specializing in bereavement.

The book has helped to calm me and comfort me. This book has helped me to feel I am not alone at this tragic time. Rating:  - Way Too Strident Book Provides No Help At AllThis book was most unhelpful in dealing with my grief over the loss of my precious four-year-old daughter--my only child. The author states repeatedly that the only way to heal is to let go of your child completely, as well as all the dreams, hopes and anything else connected to your child. Wrong! This is just plain wrong. What a terrible thing to say to a bereaved parent. Our children's spirits live on and there is no reason to discard everything about them. Also, the book spends way too much time ... Read More Rating: - BaileySix weeks ago My three year old daughter died unexpectedly.I am having feelings I've never experienced before.
