Shattered: Surviving the Loss of a Child: Volume 4 (Good Grief Series)

A lovely book, well written and I thought helpful for my bereaved sister. I also bought a copy for myself and I found it useful to learn how to best help her in her grieving process. It’s very methodical and the reader can just pick out relevant chapters as needed. Each chapter references the various effects of distress such as physical, emotional social, and there are loads of practical suggestions too.I looked at other books but I thought this was the most useful.

Having lost my 18 year old son last year I have felt very alone and sometimes crazy with the emotions I feel. I read this book in a day and know I will keep it close at hand to refer to particular chapters when I need some guidance and strength. It is written in a very reader friendly way almost recognising that quick reference and go to snippets are what the reader needs. I will be recommending this to other bereaved parents and will also look for other work by Gary Roe. Can not recommend this enough

A very easy read with short chapters. Not what I was looking for though as I am six years into my grief.

Having lost a child myself, I found comfort in reading I'm not alone sadly.

After the loss of my son I felt like this book helped me with my grief. I would recommend this book for you

This book is helpful to those grieving the loss of a child. There are good descriptions of different grief situations and helpful suggestions on how to cope with various aspects of grief.

As a bereaved parent of my only child, I was without hope, utterly lost and overwhelmed with pain and grief.Coming across Gary's work on the internet and then reading this book was one of the first tentative steps I took towards feeling maybe I could survive the nightmare I found myself in. I felt understood, loved and supported.This is a book I return to over and over when I seek comfort and reassurance.There is a true understanding of the journey that a bereaved parent faces and Gary's compassion shines through in all he says
