Description:
In this sensitive guide, Edward Myers offers sensible, compassionate advice to those coping with the death of a parent. He explores the complex feelings adult sons and daughters experience when a parent dies, whether the death follows a long illness, or is sudden, including the special issues raised by a murder or suicide. He discusses the psychological responses to a parent's death, such as shock, depression, and guilt, and offers suggestions on how to cope with and overcome these responses. Practical matters, such as dealing with funerals and estates are also discussed, and a resource guide offers information on support groups, counseling, and additional reading. Enriched by the voices of bereavement experts, clinicians, and individual men and women who have suffered the loss of a parent. When Parents Die will lead the grieving toward insight, growth, solace, and acceptance.

Customer Reviews
I bought this book based on the reviews. I had been taking care of my mother who had terminal ovarian cancer. I bought the book before she passed and was glad I did. The book really supported me in seeing where my feelings where coming from and seeing that all I was feeling was normal. It also gave me some tools in taking care of myself which in return made it possible to take better care of my mother. I still feel an immense emptiness and sadness. I however have hope that life will have happy times again. I f you have lost a parent or not this is a must have book.
