Overview

There is hope for a brighter tomorrow

Nothing can destroy your world like losing a child. It is devastating on a level that most people can't imagine. Once you have experienced such a tragedy, you may feel that you will never again be able to live with peace and joy.

Written after the death of the author's own child, Surviving the Loss of a Child offers you compassionate encouragement born from deep sorrow. You will find no pat answers or patronizing panaceas here--just real words of healing from someone who has been exactly where you are now.

Hurting parents will find this book a source of comfort, while concerned friends, counselors, pastors, and caregivers will find it a perfect gift for the bereaved. Its short chapters and proven coping mechanisms are easy to take in.

There is life after death--even the death of a beloved child. Discover how you can go on living and reclaim hope in your heart.


Elizabeth B. Brown is a teacher, a speaker, and the author of the popular Living Successfully with Screwed-Up People. Besides going through the loss of her own child, Brown has done extensive research on grief, and she and her pastor husband give grief seminars around the country.
