Helps with the grieving process.

The loss of an adult child is something that no parent should have to experience. You lose a bit of yourself when you bury your child. I would never wish this feeling or experience on anyone... yet it is a reality that some parents will lay their children to rest. You think you will be able to process the pain... but it's not something that can just be washed away. This book is well-written and addresses many of the feelings a grieving parent could experience. While there is no 100% solution, it could help. The narrator speaks slowly and calmly, allowing you to process the information. Well done. Thank you :)

Highly Recommended

Losing a child is the worst pain anyone can imagine. This book is like a warm hug for parents going through this terrible time. It doesn't take away the pain, but it helps you understand what you're feeling and how to cope. It talks about feeling sad, angry, or lost, and gives you ways to deal with those feelings. If you're hurting because you lost your grown-up child, this book might offer some comfort and help you start to heal. I would recommend it !

Healing one day at a time

I found this audiobook when I needed it most. Dealing with any death is difficult, but your own child is something else. I have been to see counselors and such but I needed to do something myself. I found this amazing audiobook to be so easy to listen to; the author was really talking to me. The information is well organized, and I have listened to it a few times already. I highly recommend it.

Comforting Words in Your Time of Need!

This audiobook offers comfort and support during your most difficult of times. It shares heartfelt stories, and helpful advice for healing in your time of grief, and how to feel more connected to life again. It was helpful to hear that you’re not alone—that your feelings are real, and they matter.

It was especially comforting to hear from parents who have been on this tough journey, sharing how they’ve found some peace and hope along the way. It was also helpful to hear about simple tools and tips from Grief Counselors and Psychologists, that helps one to work through the grief. I found this audiobook particularly encouraging to learn about self-care; how to honor your child’s memory; and how to gradually start to rebuild your life after such a deep loss. It is very well narrated, and is highly recommended.
