Summary

"Losing a parent addresses the loneliness that a person bereaved of a parent may be feeling. It offers support for dealing with the immediate aftermath of loss, whether suddenly or after a slow decline. It offers a roadmap for the longer journey, as you seek to navigate new family dynamics, come to terms with feelings of abandonment, and understand patterns of loss in your life. It explores the subject of inheritance - material and spiritual - and how to support your remaining parent"--Back cover
