by Fiona Marshall (Author)
This is a sympathetic study of the repercussions of losing a parent at any stage in life. The book deals with anticipating the death, the death itself, the short and long-term psychological impact and the feelings of the abandoned child . It examines common emotions - guilt, confusion and anger - and feelings such as guilt and relief if there has been a long illness. The book encourages growth and recovery by helping the reader formulate a personal philosophy of life and death, incorporating both parents and themselves. Also included is information about support groups.
