About this listen
"A truly healing book." (Glen Lord, President, The Compassionate Friends)
Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Heartbreaking. Whatever words we choose, they all fall far short of the reality. The loss of a child is a terrible thing. Accidents. Disease. Suicide. School shootings. Murder. Natural disasters. War. No matter how or when, the death of a child (no matter what age) can shatter the heart. How do you survive this? Can you?
Best-selling author, hospice chaplain, and grief specialist Gary Roe uses his three decades of experience interacting with grieving parents to give us this heartfelt and intensely practical book. In Shattered, Roe walks the listener through the powerful impact a child's death can have - emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, and spiritually.
Shattered unpacks the depth of this loss, describing how:
- Intense, unpredictable emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, fear, depression) can hijack us at a moment's notice.
- Our minds spin. We can't concentrate. We forget things. It feels like we're going crazy
- Our bodies get hit. Symptoms surface. Our health can be impacted. Illness can invade.
- Our souls feel crushed. Guilt shakes us. What we believe gets challenged.
- Our relationships change. Marriage, family, and friendships feel the impact.
- Our plans and dreams are shattered. The future has changed. We're in uncharted territory.
In Shattered, you will discover how you can:
Deal with the volatile, unpredictable emotions assaulting you.
- Manage the massive changes that are occurring in your life and routine.
- Move through feeling overwhelmed and begin to heal.
- Take care of yourself and your health amidst all the challenges.
- Honor your child with how you grieve.
- Love those around you, even with a broken heart.
- Navigate spiritual uncertainties and faith questions.
- Turn couple, family, and relational upheaval into personal growth.
- Support your other children in their grief and parent well through this.
- Find the people and resources you need to begin to recover.
- Decipher whether counseling or grief coaching would be beneficial for you.
- Live life as well as possible while in the midst of great pain.
- Make your child's life count in deep and powerful ways.
Shattered is not a magic pill. The death of a child cannot be fixed. But comfort, compassion, guidance, and hope can be found in this book. If you are a grieving parent or grandparent, this book is here to help. We will never be the same, but we can survive. And to some degree, we can heal. Shattered can help. Listen to this book, and let the healing continue.
Shattered was a 2017 Best Book Awards Finalist.

A loved one dies. Your world is upended. The emotional pain can be intense. Your heart begins asking questions. "Am I going crazy? Am I going to make it? Where is God in all this"? Many of the people around you don't know what to say or do. They utter cliches and platitudes. You need something more than this - far more. You need to know that it's okay to hurt, to be sad, and to grieve. And most of all, you need the comfort of God's presence. You need to experience his compassion and love. You need to know he is walking with you in your pain and grief.

On Death and Dying began as a theoretical book, an interdisciplinary study of our fear of death and our inevitable acceptance of it. It introduced the world to the now-famous five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. On Grief and Grieving applies these stages to the process of grieving and weaves together theory, inspiration, and practical advice, all based on Kübler-Ross' and Kessler's professional and personal experiences.

In Grief is Love, author Marisa Renee Lee reveals that healing does not mean moving on after losing a loved one—healing means learning to acknowledge and create space for your grief. It is about learning to love the one you lost with the same depth, passion, joy, and commitment you did when they were alive, perhaps even more. She guides you through the pain of grief—whether you’ve lost the person recently or long ago—and shows you what it looks like to honor your loss on your unique terms, and debunks the idea of a grief stages or timelines.

Moving to America in 2008, Finnish journalist Anu Partanen quickly went from confident, successful professional to wary, self-doubting mess. She found that navigating the basics of everyday life - from buying a cell phone and filing taxes to education and childcare - was much more complicated and stressful than anything she encountered in her homeland. At first she attributed her crippling anxiety to the difficulty of adapting to a freewheeling new culture. But as she got to know Americans better, she discovered they shared her deep apprehension.

Excellent Read!
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Life after her passing has been a whirlwind of every emotion, and a completely different crippling reality.
My spouse, 3 other children and I have been thrown into a world that doesn’t make sense, and is hard to navigate even with the support of family, friends and grief groups.
I believe this book is inspired, and has helped me so much in the weeks and months that have followed our loss- I refer to it often, especially on the hardest days.
I now know how to put words and explanations to new previously unknown emotions, and communicate mine and my family’s needs better to each other and those around us.
If you have experienced child loss, know that I am so very sorry for your loss, and that you are now a part of this “club” too.
It is a club that no one wants to belong to, but one that is full of some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met...
You are not alone in your pain, and you don’t have to grieve without help.
Gary gets it. This book is a treasure, and great resource for all of us- those who have experienced child loss firsthand, and those who want to be truly supportive and understanding of someone who has.
It’s safe, loving, enlightening and provides guidance that is hard, if not impossible to find elsewhere.
May God, and our angels continue to watch over and help all of us as we strive to heal our broken hearts...
And may Gary be abundantly blessed for his efforts in helping us find guidance in trying to do so 🙏🏻💗
This book was an answer to my broken heart’s prayer
