From Library Journal
In 1980 Knapp coauthored Motherhood and Mourning , on perinatal death. Beyond Endurance focuses on parents who have experienced the death of an older child (aged one to twenty-eight). Knapp interviewed more than 400 families to obtain his data. He presents the unique and common experiences for three causes of death of a child: death after a long illness, sudden (accidental) death, and death by murder. He also covers the grieving process; special issues, such as the hospital, grave visits, and days of remembrance; and coping behavior. Some suggestions are given for helping the parents to mourn, i.e., roles for friends, health professionals, the funeral director, and support groups. Primarily for professionals, this is recommended for academic and health science libraries. Jean E. Crampon, Southern Illinois Univ. Sch. of Medicine Lib., Springfield
