Synopsis

This is a sympathetic study of the repercussions of losing a parent at any stage in life. The book deals with anticipating the death, the death itself, the short and long-term psychological impact and the feelings of the "abandoned child". It examines common emotions - guilt, confusion and anger - and feelings such as guilt and relief if there has been a long illness. The book encourages growth and recovery by helping the reader formulate a personal philosophy of life and death, incorporating both parents and themselves. Also included is information about support groups.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Whether from a sudden accident or a slow, terminal illness, the death of a parent is devastating, and its effects often under-estimated. This book looks at the process of coping with a parent's death in adulthood, from preparing for death to recognizing the different stages of grief, from nurturing the relationship with the surviving parent to harnessing new strength to carry on with life.
