Inhaltsangabe:

All families eventually face the loss of a loved one. When it happens, it can place great strain on a marriage, as well as on other relationships. That's partly because we don't know what to do with our feelings and partly because every family member grieves in his or her own way. In this book, Nancy and David Guthrie explore the family dynamics involved when a loved one dies—and debunk some myths about family grief. Through their own experiences of losing two young children and interviews with those who've faced losing spouses and parents, they show how grief can actually pull a family closer together rather than tearing it apart.

Von der hinteren Coverseite:

Someone's missing.

When your family's lost a loved one, the reminders are everywhere. An empty chair, a silent crib, an unused pillow. You long to return to "normal," but you wonder how your family can live without the loved one you cherish.

Unfortunately, there's no avoiding the pain; each family member will grieve in his or her own way and time. But there is light at the end of the tunnel-hope that you will find joy and unity again.

The journey may not be short or smooth, but David and Nancy Guthrie have traveled it-more than once. With empathy and honesty, they'll guide you through the challenges of keeping your family together and strong. You'll discover practical, compassionate answers to questions like these: How can I help my children cope with losing a parent? Can my marriage survive the loss of a child? When will the pain of losing my spouse stop? How can we honor our loved one's memory-and still "move on"? What's the secret of holding on to our faith-and each other?

At a time when nobody seems to understand, David and Nancy do. Let them, along with others who've walked this road, take your household from hurt to healing.
