Patti was 14 when her father died suddenly of a heart attack. Mary was 26 when her father died from a fall. Vicki was 5 when her mother died in a freak car accident. They all have one thing in common: a journey of intense heartache and a rollercoaster of emotions ranging from sadness and disbelief to seeking understanding, healing, and hope.
Part of the award-winning Grief Diaries series, Surviving Loss of a Parent shares the poignant stories of 17 sons and daughters. Covering tender issues such as navigating the holidays, when to sort through our parent’s belongings, handling sensitive questions and more, Surviving Loss of a Parent is a wonderful source of comfort for all who share the journey, and offers a treasured reminder that none of us walk this journey alone. See all books in the award-winning series at Grief Diaries.com.
