One of the better reads when you are ready

Goe to the point- the worst loss. when ready read this one- doesn't preach or dictate. Was a little helpful in my opinion

The Worst Loss

As a bereaved parent and facilitator of A Compassionate Friends support group, this is the book I recommend all the time as one of the best. It covers every aspect of the grief after losing a child. I purchased many so that they will be available for all the newly bereaved.

The Worst Loss

Very good must read if you have gone through a family loss. It may be difficult for the Mother of a child. As an outsider it was very good for me as the step father.

The Worst Loss Helped Me the Most

I lost my beloved son four months ago in a motorcycle accident. He was 24 years old. I have read 7 different grief books written for bereaved parents. This book, The Worst Loss, is by far the best I have read. It is so hopeful, and describes very gently what grief is like for parents. I saw myself in the pages, over and over, and it was the most comforting book I have encountered. The book is well organized, taking you through the stages of grief and along the way, it describes what other parents have gone through and what they have found helpful to help themselves move through their grief. It also stresses that we each have our own timetable for grief and to not rush yourself, nor let anyone rush you through your grief.

Out of the all the grief books I've read, this book, and A Broken Heart Still Beats, are the only books I'm going to keep, as a reference, or to read again. A Broken Heart Still Beats is comforting in a different way, it is not a guide for grief like The Worst Loss, it is a compilation of literary writings on loss of children and it is beautiful.

comprehensive look at personal grief

I have read many books since my son committed suicide on his 27th birthday. This book is helpful in that it looks at all causes of the death of a child,not just sucide, but murder, accident and illness. This book can be helpful not only to parents, but siblings. This book was very helpful to us during our grieving. It is well written and well researched. There are many cases discussed, which gives you the feeling that you are not alone, and that what you are feeling is a normal part of the grieving process. Very helpful.

reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

The death of a child is like no other loss. The Worst Loss will help families who have experienced this to know what they are facing, understand what they are feeling, and appreciate their own needs and timetables.
