Surviving the Death of a Child
A Gentle Guide to Getting Through the First Days, Living With the Grief, and Finding a Way Forward After Losing a Son or DaughterBy Imad Muratspahic
Length2h 48m
About this audiobook
No one is ever ready to bury a child. In the hours after, you are handed paperwork and casseroles and a silence where instructions should be - no one tells you how to make the phone calls, get through the days, or keep breathing when the worst thing that could happen already has. The grief that follows the death of a son or daughter is not like other griefs, and the advice written for other griefs does not reach it. Surviving the Death of a Child is a gentle, plainspoken companion for bereaved parents - written for the first unbearable days and for the long years afterward, for sudden deaths and slow ones, for parents of babies, teenagers, and grown children alike. This is not a miscarriage or pregnancy-loss book, not a pet-loss book, and not a general grief manual repackaged. It is built for the specific, world-ending loss of a living child you raised, named, and knew - the one grief that most books step carefully around. Inside, you'll learn: You will not find false comfort here, and no promise that it stops hurting.
