When Your Family's Lost a Loved One: Finding Hope Together

By David Guthrie and Nancy Guthrie

Book Overview

All families eventually face the loss of a loved one. When it happens, it can place great strain on a marriage, as well as on other relationships. That's partly because we don't know what to do with our feelings and partly because every family member grieves in his or her own way. In this book, Nancy and David Guthrie explore the family dynamics involved when a loved one dies--and debunk some myths about family grief. Through their own experiences of losing two young children and interviews with those who've faced losing spouses and parents, they show how grief can actually pull a family closer together rather than tearing it apart.

When Your Family's Lost a Loved One

I bought this book for a friend who lost her adult daughter. I found it to be an excellent discussion of the grieving process. Would recommend it to anyone dealing with the death of someone close to them.
