Never the Same: Coming to Terms with the Death of a Parent Book

Time does not heal all wounds, warns grief counselor Donna Schuurman in her brave and practical book about the challenges adults face in coming to terms with the loss of a parent before age 18. Her premise in Never the Same defies the common wisdom. "Forget the stages of grief. There is no magical moment when you can say, it?s over." Using thoughtful self-assessments and examples, Schuurman persuades readers that grief must be reprocessed at every stage of life. First, she invites readers to look backward, examining their reactions and coping strategies at the time of their parent?s death. Moving into the present, she asks, what meaning do your make of your parent?s death as an adult? Schuurman details the high cost of unresolved grieving, including depression, anxiety, pessimism, underachievement, and troubled relationships. She then outlines suggestions for dealing with the legacy of a parent?s death and choosing healthy traditions for remembering. Adults and parents will find this a wise and compassionate book?-an indispensable guide to the unfinished business of losing a parent at an early age. --Barbara Mackoff Read More

  • Product Description

    Children and teens who experience the death of a parent are never the same. Only in the last decade have counselors acknowledged that children grieve too, and that unresolved issues can negatively impact children into adulthood. Unad-dressed grief can lead to depression, substance abuse, and re-lationship difficulties. Having worked with thousands of families as the executive director of the Dougy Center for Grieving Children, Donna Schuurman under-stands the dangers of un-resolved grief. In Never the Same, Schuurman offers expert advice that empowers readers to reflect on their uni-que situation, come to terms with the influence of their parent's death, and live more healthful, peaceful lives. The only book of its kind, Never the Same is an essential companion for those still strug-gling with the early loss of a parent.
