This book offers parents a comforting way to grieve whenever the need arises, whether occasioned by the passing of a school bus or a glance at a family portrait.
The authors' sensitive reflections on the various occasions that bring grief to the surface include events that may happen daily, weekly, annually, or perhaps only once. Fifty-two themes ranging from birthdays to graduation help parents acknowledge their loss, express their feelings associated with the change, and recognize the experience as an opportunity for grief, as well as for growth.
Finding Your Way After Your Child Dies is intended for parents who have experienced the death of a child, whether due to natural causes, accident, or miscarriage. The themes may also be easily adapted for use in small and large group settings such as a support group, a prayer service, or a family ministry session.

Gilbert, Richard B
The experience of losing a parent in death is almost universal — and yet many who feel this loss for the first time are surprised at how painful it can be. Even those well into adulthood are often taken aback by the deep sense of loneliness, the sense of being "orphaned", that the death of a mother or father can bring.
In Finding Your Way After Your Parent Dies, Rev. Richard Gilbert has created a compassionate guide for those struggling with the loss of a parent. Bringing many years of experience in bereavement counseling, Gilbert sketches out some of the issues that arise in the wake of a parent's death and offers practical suggestions for navigating these difficulties. From the disorientation that can come immediately after death to relating to the surviving parent to healing old emotional wounds, the topics dealt with here will be of tremendous help to many.

Felber, Marta
If you have suffered the death of your spouse, you have experienced one of the most painful and disorienting experiences life can offer. In the days immediately following the loss, you may need everything from advice on finances to a home-cooked meal. But there is nothing you need more than the warm, reassuring voice of one who has traveled this path before and survived. In Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies, Marta Felber offers just such a voice--caring, hopeful, always pointing ahead to a tomorrow that will be a little easier than today. Having experienced her own spouse's death, Felber is never glib or simplistic. She knows the grief her readers are feeling, and she encourages them to give it full expression. At the same time, she offers sound, practical suggestions on how to navigate difficult days.

Mucha, Constance
Gently Grieving is a hands-on guide to informing and teaching the bereaved to take care of their body, mind and spirit during the difficult work of grieving the death of a loved one. In other words, it is a "grief-work-book" for anyone who has experienced the pain of losing someone close to them. In seven brief but trenchant chapters, Dr. Mucha, tells her own tale of her "dark night of the soul" while encouraging the reader to write their OWN story, emphasizing that readers traumatized by the death of a loved one can be healed by this process. In addition to the author's personal grief experience, she offers anecdotes from her professional life and offers wisdom personally gained and gleaned from other grief educators. Included is a short bibliography and also recommended movies and readings for the time of grieving.
