Survive and Not Lose Your Mind. After the Loss of a Child

An event such as the death of a child shatters the world, divides familiar life into before and after, and affects not only the lives of the parents but also those around them.
This book aims to help people who have faced such a tragedy. It does not contain obvious, general, or trivial advice. No one will tell you that «everything will be fine». The author knows that this is not true. But she also knows that gradually, step by step, it is possible to accept what has happened and return to life. She understands what words can reach a person driven mad by pain, how friends and relatives should behave, and what support will be appropriate.
The unique structure of the text and marked headings will help navigate the stages of experiencing grief, find a special approach in each specific case, and keep afloat when it seems that holding on further makes no sense.
This book will prepare you for the long and difficult path back to life. It will support you during the most acute and complex periods, help dull the pain, and bring closer the day and hour when you will be able to smile again and rejoice in a new day.
