21 THINGS TO SAY (NOT SAY) OR DO FOR SOMEONE WHO IS GRIEVING
Coping With Child Loss
Are there certain topics around your grief that you struggle with? Is it difficult to find the answers to tough questions? I get it. I did not know where to turn after Courtney died in 1991. I struggled to find someone tell me I was not going crazy and the things I was experiencing were normal. When Connor passed away in 2018, I had more tools and resources to survive my loss. Initially, I shared my journey on Facebook. With the encouragement of others who were being helped by my experiences, I wrote Life After Child Loss: The Mother’s Survival Guide to cope and Find Joy. My second book, Survive Your Child’s Suicide: How to Move through Grief to Healing is a result of wanting to unravel the mysteries and questions surrounding suicide.
