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 :)

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.

A Compassionate Guide for Anyone Grieving

I didn’t lose an adult child myself, but I walked alongside a dear friend who did. This book was an invaluable resource for both of us during a difficult time. It offers a deep sense of understanding and compassion, something that’s often hard to find when facing such a loss. The practical advice and insights shared here are for parents and anyone supporting someone through this kind of grief. I highly recommend it.

A beautiful guide and dedication to a loved one

Narration definitely matters with Audiobooks and I greatly appreciated the narrator's calm, full, empathetic tone. Given the subject it not only respected the subject and grief but allowed me to follow along clearly. The book includes other examples of how others have coped with loss and grief including unexpected craft projects. I really appreciated that as coping skills allow people to regulate their own emotions. We are not taught them but they so greatly affect our lives.
