An exploration of the adult experience of parental death draws upon the real-life experiences of ordinary people to show readers how to come to terms with a parent's death

Reviews

Written for adults who are mourning the loss of a parent, this book attempts to help survivors understand how the parental relationship influenced other aspects of their lives. Drawing from her work as a bereavement counselor, Akner depicts the experience of 12 mourners meeting for a six-week workshop. Each begins the workshop feeling he or she is having difficulty dealing with the loss. Working through a series of exercises and "homework" assignments designed to help them discuss, question, and understand the role that deceased played in their lives, many--though not all--begin to move on from the feelings that were keeping them stuck in their grief. This well-written book will be of value to most public libraries.
