Finding Your Way After Your Parent Dies

Finding Your Way After Your Parent Dies is a good resource when you’ve just lost a parent or after a few years have gone by and you still have some grief to work through. Author Richard Gilbert presents some of the issues that arise and offers practical suggestions as to how to deal with these issues. The issues may range from disorientation that occurs immediately after the death to how to relate to the surviving parent to dealing with old emotional wounds.

In Finding Your Way After Your Parent Dies, Gilbert discusses issues in chapters entitled “First Steps on the Journey, Stops Along the Way, Traveling with a Surviving Parent and Solitary Paths”. The back of the book has helpful reference and resource material including sections with scripture, hymns and prayers, printed and recorded resources and organizations and support programs.
