520 $aFor a parent, losing a child is the most
devastating event that can occur. Most books on the subject
focus on grieving and recovery, but as most parents agree,
there is no recovery from such a loss. This book examines
the continued love parents feel for their child and the many
poignant and ingenious ways they devise to preserve the
bond.
520 8 $aThrough detailed profiles of parents, Ann
Finkbeiner shows how new activities and changed
relationships with their spouse, friends, and other children
can all help parents preserve a bond with the lost child.
520 8 $aRefusing to fall back on pop jargon about
"recovery" or to offer easy suggestions or standardized
timelines, Finkbeiner's is a genuine and moving search to
come to terms with loss. Her complex profiles of parents
resonate with the honesty and authenticity of uncomfortable
emotions expressed and, most importantly, shared with others
experiencing a similar loss.
520 8 $aFinally, each profile exemplifies the many heroic
ways parents learn to live with their pain, and by so doing,
honor the lives their children should have lived.
