The Emerging You
Child Loss Breaks the Mind. Then…
When my daughter Naomi died, so did I.
You already know what this feels like. What you may not know is why. Child loss doesn't just break your heart — it dismantles the mind that held your world together. This book shows you what's actually happening inside you, and the pattern quietly reshaping who you're becoming.
"A compassionate framework for understanding grief…" — Kirkus Reviews
"As a therapist whose life and career have been deeply rooted in walking alongside grief and loss, I do not say this lightly: this book is a profound and thought-provoking exploration of grief. Far more than comfort clichés or simplistic answers — honest, courageous, deeply human, and ultimately hopeful." — Dr. Stephanie Wick, LCMFT, Grief Specialist
