Books To Help Cope?

[cml1016]

Like many of you, I lost my Mother to cancer in February 2009. She was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer in January 2008 - we were lucky enough to have her for an entire year. She was my best friend & confidante - she lived with my family and I for the last 4 months of her life and I was lucky enough to hold her hand as she tooik her last breath. Many people have told me that things get harder before they get easier and that is where I am now. I have 3 small children who were the center of Grandma's world and I struggle to find the words to comfort them at times. Has anyone found a good book on the Grief of Loosing a Parent? I've purchased a couple that explain it to the kids, but I'd like one for me too.

Dear One,

In addition to the suggestions I'm sure you'll receive from our other members (and those books already listed in our Grief Bibliography), you might want to take a look at the resources listed on these pages of our Grief Healing Web site:
