The Death of A Child

“a painful but necessary book”: Catholic Herald

“It is a brilliant book on a potentially harrowing topic...it will undoubtedly meet a great need, thanks to the honesty, sensitivity and courage of the contributors who dare to write about such intimate pain: Jenny Francis in the Church Times

“I am loathe to pick one story out from among the others for fear of seeming to denigrate others. All are written with deep love and recognition that life will never be the same again”: the goodbookstall.org.uk

A collection of 12 essays, edited by Peter Stanford, with an afterword by the distinguished Australian psychologist, Dorothy Rowe, and written by the parents and siblings of children who have died.  By reliving their experiences and describing their grief, they hope to help others in the same situation, as well as their family and friends.
