Un Hijo No Puede Morir: La Experiencia De Seguir Viviendo (Spanish Edition)
After dealing with the death of her five-year-old son,  Roccatagliata, a noted journalist and TV personality in Chile,  set out to help herself and other parents in similar situations.  The death of a child is one of the most painful and traumatic  experiences that a parent can suffer. So deep is the grief and  so uncertain the future that for many parents life ceases to  exist for a period of time. Recovery is a long and lonely  process understood only by others who have suffered similarly.  Here, Roccatagliata compiles true stories and experiences of  parents who have lost a child, either through long illness,  accident, homicide, or suicide. The parents talk about their  reactions to their child's death, their grieving processes, and  the activities and measures that finally allowed them to  recover. The last two chapters consist of brief summaries and  tips of what helps and what doesn't help in the recovery  process. Written in a personal style, this moving book will be  helpful for those who have lost a child and for friends and  relatives trying to help parents through the experience. Highly  recommended for academic and public libraries, as well as for  bookstores. Yolanda J.
