Losing an adult child or grandchild is a reversal no parent is prepared for. Alongside the grief comes everything else—guilt, sleeplessness, strain on an aging body, shifting family roles, and the quiet expectation that you should somehow keep functioning.
This book is written for older adults facing the death of a son, daughter, or grandchild. It speaks honestly about grief fog, anger, loneliness, and the way sorrow settles into blood pressure, appetite, and energy. It addresses the guilt of outliving your child, the silences and strained relationships that can follow a death in the family, and the pressure to stay strong for everyone else while carrying your own grief. There is guidance on anniversaries and holidays, on helping raise grandchildren, and on knowing when to reach for more support.
Also included is Still Connected: 30 Practices for the Hardest Moments—short, self-contained passages for the times when a full chapter is too much and you need somewhere steady to turn.
Drawing on more than thirty years of nursing experience, Denise J. Brege offers grounded, compassionate support for one of life's hardest losses. No rushing, no judgment, and no one telling you to move on.
