Summary: It goes to the Heart
Review: Losing a child is the most horrific tragedy that can ever befall a parent. This book speaks to those who have undergone such a loss in a way few books do. The author's guide to surving such loss speaks right to the heart. I recommend this book to anyone trying to find their way out of the darkness of the loss of a child.

Summary: NEVER give your only copy of this book away!
Review: We are never prepared for the loss of a child, yet this beautifully written, and compassionate book wisely prepares us for what comes next. Though we don't believe there will ever be a sane or normal moment again, ever so gently, author Rothman guides the reader/parent through stages of grieving and Kubler-Ross's stages of dying...and, we will survive. A grief counselor herself, Rothman shares her own and others' experiences of this incomprehensible pain. If there ever can be a "guide book" for the treacherous journey of losing a child, this book is the one. Succinct yet thorough, Rothman provides information about where to reach out for support from others, including a toll-free telephone number. Share the wisdom when it is needed, but NEVER, NEVER give your only copy of this book away!
