| Summary |
"The death of a child brings a storm in the grieving individual and in the family that tests even the surest of spiritual anchors. This book describes how parents lose, find, or relocate spiritual anchors after the death of their child. It illustrates how ordinary people reconstruct their lives after their foundations have shifted how they reconnect after one of their primary attachments has been lost, and how they make sense of their world after one of their centers of meaning has been removed."--BOOK JACKET |
