Mending the Broken Heart: After Your Child Dies
I have a beautiful son, Christopher, who died of mitochondrial disease as he finished telling me he loved me. My life has never been the same. I now have an added dimension of my life - the death of my youngest child - that is part of who I am. Beryl's book covers what that journey is about and includes many practical help ideas to help parent and sisters and brothers understand and live life well with that new dimension. Thank you, Beryl. --Debra, Houston, TexasBeryl Kaminsky has provided a soothing audio recording for bereaved parents. Due to the inability of the mind to initially grasp the finality and depth of loss when our child dies, reading material is not always absorbed. Many parents cannot tolerate loud noise or a bombardment of information. Beryl's sweet voice and words of wisdom were first presented to our Compassionate Friends chapter during a seminar for bereaved parents. Her presentation is gentle yet informative. The advantage of an audio recording is the ability of the newly bereaved parent to listen to the recording many times and gradually gain new insight.Our chapter leadership encouraged Beryl to record this presentation. The balanced material and the delicate nature of the audio presentation work together soothingly, providing the bereaved parent a bit of foresight when traveling the road of grief after the death of a child.As a bereaved parent and a mother who works closely with newly bereaved parents, I highly recommend this audio recording for the newly bereaved. This is also an excellent resource for parents who have moved forward in their grief, because no matter how much time has passed since our children died, we will always carry the pain of our loss in our hearts. --Annette, Katy, TexasListening to Beryl Kaminsky's beautifully crafted words and sentiments in her CDMending the Broken Heart: After your Child Dies,is a healing experience indeed! Although my daughter died as an infant, she was and still is a part of me. I found Beryl's soothing voice, her expert counsel and professional insights wonderful. I most appreciate the concrete steps she recommends with each phase of the grief process. Her examples are among the best I've ever heard. Thank you Beryl. --Nona, New Orleans, LA
