Beyond Tears : Living After Losing a Child

Summary: Beyond Fabulous
Review: Beyond Tears by Ellen Mitchell and the 9 bereaved parents was "beyond fabulous." I am a bereaved parent and it was the first book I've read on the topic that really helped, guided and provided hope in an honest way for those in the same situation. The brief stories of their children which were interspersed throughout the book added tremendously to the impact of the book.

Summary: Courage!
Review: Beyond Tears is extraordinarily moving--and sad. Well written, but a difficult read because the stories are so emotion-filled and the tragedy is overwhelming.

Muster your courage and get this book, it is a work of pure commitment and passion. Love is on every page. Congratulations to the authors!

Summary: A truly Heartwarming Book - A Must Read
Review: Every parent who has lost a child, everyone who knows someone who has lost a child, must read this book. The 9 women and their spouses who were honest and caring enough to write their innermost feelings in the hopes of helping others understand how they coped with one of the hardest experiences life has to offer - that of losing a child, should be commended. They show how different parents deal with the tragedy they all share. They are not alone in their grief and hopefully can help others understand what each person feels may be different, but they all share the common bond of losing a child.

I bought this book for myself and for a dear friend who lost her 8 yr. old daughter. We both read it with tears in our eyes. I truly recommend it to everyone who cares about others.

Summary: A great comfort...
Review: I just finished reading "Beyond Tears" and found it to be comforting, informative and beautifully written. These women are very lucky to have found one another...they share a very strong bond...one I am sure they wish they never had.
"Beyond Tears" is a must read for those who have unfortunately experienced a terrible loss in their lives and might not have the courage to attend a support meeting. This book will make one realize that they are not alone in how they feel or how they have been thinking...

Summary: Beyond Tears
Review: The book's searing emotional intensity, almost too painful to read, is effectively contained by the careful, rhythmic pacing--statements by nine women who have endured the most grievous of losses alternating with moving evocations of the children they mourn. Anyone who has lost a child-- or who knows someone who has-- should read it.

Nine brave hearts, that risked reliving their own pain to share the experience of their personal,intimate journey of grieving for the loss of their children.This book helps everyone understand grief has no timelines,no rules,and no boundries. It is as individual as each personal experience.This book is a lasting,final sacrifice and tribute to their children.
