You already know what this feels like. What you may not know is why. Child loss dismantles the mind that held your world together. This book reveals what is happening inside you — and illuminates the pattern reshaping who you are.

“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.

“What an amazing and powerful book. What you are doing with your grief is helping so many people!”
