Overview
We are meant to outlive our parents. We understand this, yet when a parent in midlife or old age dies, the loss can still come as a profound shock. The grief that follows is often deeper and more painful than expected. Why do adult children feel “ orphaned,” depressed, alone? What can be done with feelings of sadness, resentment, guilt, or anger? And what are healthy, meaningful ways to mourn?In this revised second edition, Dr. Alan Wolfelt shares 100 practical and compassionate ideas to help adult children better understand and reconcile their grief. Drawing on both professional expertise and personal reflection following the death of his own parents, he offers guidance that is both deeply insightful and accessible. This practical guide offers 100 thoughtful, here-and-now suggestions to help adult children mourn in healthy, meaningful ways.Common challenges, such as supporting a surviving parent, navigating sibling conflicts, and managing legal or financial responsibilities, are also addressed. Whether your parent’ s death was sudden or anticipated, and whether it occurred recently or many years ago, this thoughtful and easy-to-use resource is for you.
