Grieving for a Star Child
The Companion Book for Families
When a child dies, more than this enchanting tiny person has passed away. The future that the parents had envisioned with this child also dies. This decisive turning point accompanies most parents throughout their lives and has effects on the entire family system.
Petra Sutor writes as someone who has been personally affected and as an experienced grief counsellor. She provides valuable factual information that parents are often unaware of and looks at the entire range of grief – its painful sides, but also the small treasures of grief that need to be discovered. Specific exercises for stabilisation and self-care help parents to once again becoming capable to taking action. No matter whether the loss is very recent or happened years ago, this book accompanies the parents of star children in an informative and warm-hearted way. It helps them to bear the unspeakable pain and integrate this loss into their lives.
