About this listen

Your worst fear has come true, and now you're facing a future without your child.

The death of a child is an unimaginable pain no parent should have to endure. Yet here you are, facing a grief unlike any other. It's a unique sorrow that not everyone can understand, no matter your child's age when it happened. The feeling that you were never meant to outlive them weighs heavily on your heart.

Even though death is part of life, losing a teenage or young adult child—just as their dreams were unfolding—feels senseless. Life without them seems empty, and imagining life without them seems impossible.

You need guidance from someone who truly understands the unique challenges of losing a child. This guide offers the hope and support you’re searching for. While it can't take away the pain, it can help you navigate this difficult journey.

Inside, discover:

  • Why your loss is uniquely difficult
  • How to talk about your grief with both those who understand
  • Guidance for handling overwhelming emotions
  • How to support your other children as they cope with their sibling's death
  • Ways to handle grief when you and your partner process it differently
  • Tips for managing family life and social events with an empty seat
  • Advice for facing special days and anniversaries
  • Meaningful ways to honor your child
  • Strategies for coping with daily life
  • The impact of grief on your body and how to manage it
  • Tools for working through your emotions
  • Inspiring stories from other parents

Though it may seem impossible now, with time and the right support, you’ll begin to see a path forward, one day at a time.

A Compassionate Guide to Navigating Child Loss

Listening to this audiobook was both heart-wrenching and healing. It beautifully addresses why each loss is uniquely difficult, offering tools for handling overwhelming emotions and strategies for coping with daily life. A dear friend lost his 17-year-old daughter to cancer, and hearing guidance on supporting other children and navigating family dynamics felt deeply relevant. The compassionate tone provides advice for honoring your child’s memory and facing special days, all while acknowledging how grief impacts the body and mind. This heartfelt companion helped me see how parents, like my friend, can navigate their grief journey with meaning and grace.

A book of hope when you need it the most

When my son’s friends lost their child, I felt helpless and unsure of how to support them. This book is an invaluable resource, not just for me, but for them as well. It gave me insight into their unique grief and offered practical advice on how to be there for them in meaningful ways. The sections on understanding their emotions and helping them honor their child’s memory are impactful and helpful, especially right now during the holiday season. This book also helps me navigate conversations and avoid unintentionally saying the wrong thing. If you are looking for hope and understanding, this is the book you need to support you on your healing journey.

Very personal and powerful look at loss

As a father, I have been lucky enough to not have the misfortune of losing a child. My first wife had 2 miscarriages during our marriage, and that was painful enough. I can barely imagine losing an older child. The author lays everything bare, and while it is very painful, there is also hope, which is unexpected. Great book!
