Into the Mourning: A Handbook for a Grieving Parent

Over 100,000 parents in America lose a child to death each year. This creates over 100,000 devastated, anguished, and misunderstood people who are grieving and trying to fathom how they are going to live their lives without their dear child. These parents find themselves living a nightmare of loss alone. The grief parents feel after child loss is unique and often misunderstood and underestimated by those in their inner circle, as well as by caregivers, mental health providers, and other professionals they reach out to for help. This book will explain and validate through research why parents struggle so profoundly after their child dies, why this type of loss is unique, and help parents feel validated and understood in their experiences, and when seeking grief treatment. This study examines the the devastating biological, psychological, and sociological aspects parents experience with the death of their child and shares The PARENT Model of Grief that strips away maladaptive expectations and explains in clear and practical language, how to make meaning with the loss, support the parents in the loss, and offer insights and strategies to live with the loss.
