It is only through experiencing grief that bereaved parents ultimately heal. Moving through the phases of grief, the bereaved person works toward restoration. Understanding these phases, knowing what to expect, and learning what they can do to help themselves give parents greater assurance and comfort.

In How to Survive the Loss of a Child, Dr. Sanders, a bereaved parent herself, offers grieving parents practical help and emotional support. This book also helps family members, friends, and caregivers relate to grieving parents and aids them, too, in understanding the process of healing through grief.

I lost my 11 year child 4 years ago to epilepsy and this book really helped me along the grief path. It was helpful to know what I was feeling was not crazy and had steps involved so you could see how you progress, which believe it or not, gave some comfort
