What I love about her book, is that she goes through her journal and relives the loss through emotionally raw feelings, then filters it enough to explain to someone else. All too often, grief books are written as though the pain is so little and bearable. Those having experienced such a loss know this to be untrue. That is why books of this caliber are so important, they reach out to those that have truly lost and show them they are not alone.

A Mother's Grief Observed   January 15, 2001
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

In June of 2000 my mother and oldest son were killed in an automobile accident. My world shattered. I went to grief counseling for many months. My counselor recommended that I read books written by other parents who had lost a child. This is one of the first ones I purchased. I found that I had experienced many of the same things this mother had. It helped me so much to understand what my husband, children, and I were going through. This is a wonderful book, and I recommend it highly.

Part of the greiving process is knowing how to help a friend. This book may also help you understand the heartache that a parent goes through and how you can help and support them.
