FROM THE PUBLISHER: The death of a child immerses parents into a life-long challenge of living with one of life's most heartbreaking losses. Pilgrimage through Loss tells the story of one family's journey, along with interviews from thirty other mothers and fathers who add their voices to the silences that often surround suffering in our 'mourning-avoidant' culture. Hunt illuminates the varied pathways parents eventually discover that open their lives to strength and healing. Rather than prescribing a path that will lead to recovery, Hunt encourages parents to find the pathways that work for them as they seek to engage life again with meaning and hope. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, plus recent research on grief and loss. Pilgrimage through Loss not only helps grieving parents, it also provides an insightful resource for those wanting to understand and come alongside a family in grief.
DESCRIPTION: Pilgrimage Through Loss tells the story of one family's journey after the loss of a child, and how they hope their journey can provide lessons for other parents dealing with that most heartbreaking of losses. Using her own story, and the stories of other parents who have lost children, Hunt discusses several steps that grieving parents take along the pilgrimage. Rather than prescribing a path that will lead to recovery, Hunt shows us the many paths that parents will take after the death of a child and encourages them to find the path that works for them. Questions for discussion and reflection are included for each chapter. This book helps grieving parents and other survivors, such as siblings and friends, along their way toward survival and recovery. |
