Immediate CPR For Parents
Parents who have lost a child face an immediate crisis and likely have no idea where to turn or what to do. There are a few things that should be communicated with a bewildered parent to help them get through their horrible first week that I call Immediate CPR for Parent's HeartsMore...
Major Decisions
If you have just lost a child, your heart is spinning, falling and tumbling. You have lost a huge part of your center, your desire and your will. Your decision making is and will be hugely different than it has previously been because you care very little about anything else other than being with your child. Therefore, it is important that you recognize that you are not in the frame of mind to make big decisionsMore...
You Are Not Alone
Unfortunately, others have been on this sad, sad road ahead of you, and you are not alone in this terrible experience. Perhaps the experiences of others could help you bear the incalculable burden you now bear.
Early on in my own steps in this canyon of grief, I realized that I was learning things in the process; profound things. To ensure that the things that I was learning stayed with me long enough to be able to build a foundation upon, I started to write them down. Over time I realized that together, the things that were of comfort and solace to me, might similarly be as helpful to others.
Eventually I built my notes into paragraphs and then chapters. What resulted was a book that I call You Won't Cry Forever. More...

"I Lost My Child"
THE BOOK
Early on in my own steps in this canyon of grief, I realized that I was learning things in the process; profound things.
To ensure that the things that I was learning stayed with me long enough to be able to build a foundation upon, I started to write them down.
I pondered these things daily. I held on to them, and went over them again and again, - they were, in fact, my lifelines.
Over time I realized that together, the things that were of comfort and solace to me, might similarly be as helpful to others. Eventually I built my notes into paragraphs and then chapters. What resulted was a book, You Won't Cry Forever,which communicates to you that what you are feeling now at the loss of your child has been felt before by others.
Furthermore, it is written to be something of a loose guide of what to expect, what to not be surprised of, and where to find hope.
Few others are asking the kinds of questions that we are asking because they simply do not feel the desperate need, as we do. As a result, there is not a lot of resources out there that give us mucch of a clue of what to think, what to do, how to feel at a time like this; but to us, it is now the only thing we know.
I wish that someone had such answers for me when I found myself on this terrible path, but that didn't happen. This book is therefore offered up as something to help others in the same desperate need I found myself in.
You are not alone in what you are feeling, other hearts have felt it and other hearts have found answers.
You Won't Cry Forever is 272 pages long, consisting of 97 short-ish chapters. Hopefully you will find comfort in the things which were and are un-failingly comforting to me.
