When Your Friend's Child Dies: A Guide to Being a Thoughtful and Caring Friend
In the last 11 years I have lost my mother, my son and my father, in that order.  Let me tell you, losing my parents was only a drop in the tear bucket compared to losing my child.  Most people don't realize how many people they know who have lost a child.  After a few years most parents don't bring it up, certainly not because they have forgotten, but because friends and acquaintances either become embarrassed or change the subject.  And this hurts!  This book was written for the friends and family of a grieving parent but it is also a validation of feelings for bereaved parents.  I suggest they leave it on the coffee table for their friends to pick-up, borrow and learn from.
