A Ground Breaking Resource that offers comfort and hope to those who have lost a Child
It has been 11 years since my son has left this earth. I have read, Prayed, searched, dug and fought my way through the pain. His life and presence was so powerful I only hoped that some how I could help others in honor of him. What an honor to share our journey in this powerful tool to reach those who are suffering. I whole heartedly believe in The Grief Diaries Brand, mission and love poured into the pages of this book!

    While I have never lost a child myself, I have friends that have, from infants to teens/young adults to adults. This book is amazing. It is written in segments of grief, not just one person or family's journey through grief. From the moments before the news of the death of a child, "The Beginning" to "The Darkness" living life without the child, to each family's "Silver Lining".

    20 families are represented in this book, the author Lynda Cheldelin Fell does a remarkable job of introducing each topic. The courage of each family represented to share their journey is incredible.

    I will be purchasing several copies to donate to my church's Counciling Center as well as Children's Ministry.Grief Diaries: Loss of a Child

    When the death of a child opens us up to the most devastating experience we could ever live with, we must seek out help, answers, courage, hope, and inspiration from others. The excruciating pain is too insistent to not look for more. Grief Diaries: Loss of a Child is that much needed book. Learning we are not alone on this journey is so significant to finding balance and meaning in our lives. Chapter by chapter, as each mother shares her journey, wherever she is on that journey, she is helping another. Twenty mothers contributed to this profound book to provide greater insight for the grieving. Unconditional love, confusion, purpose, compassion, and honesty run through these pages.

    I am so glad this book is out there. I stand in admiration for all who bared their souls, sharing glimpses from their deepest pain. This is a much needed book that provides guidance and comfort to other parents who have lost a child. Knowing you are not alone and connecting with others along the journey can make all the difference. Recommend this as a must read for anyone facing the loss of a child at any age.

    This is not much of a book. Just a list of children who died under different circumstances - in a car crash, from a disease, overdose, etc. It offers northing.
    I also bought a book by Joan Didion "The year of magical thinking". She lost her husband, I lost my child, but I can completely relate to how she was grieving, to her irrational thoughts and actions following the death of someone she loved. It was comforting to know that I am not along and I am not crazy. Grief Diaries has no thoughts or feelings. Just a cold list of facts that don't help in any way.

    I lost my child 5 months ago it took me that long to read it but I can say that it has eased my heart

    Has someone you know lost a child? Do you wish there was something you could say or do to help them but just don't know what? Be there for them. Not just in the first hours and days. But a month later, six months. Show up. Sit in silence or speak of their child-whatever they need to do in that moment. When you leave place a copy of this book on their table. Knowing that others have been on the journey they are now on will be helpful to them at some point. This book is filled with stories of parents who have suffered the loss of a child of various ages and causes. It is filled with painful memories but it is also filled with hope and I believe will be a gentle hug from you once you leave their home.
