The death of a child immerses parents into a life-long challenge of living with one of life's most heartbreaking losses.
Pilgrimage through Loss
tells the story of one family's journey, along with interviews from thirty other mothers and fathers who add their voices to the silences that often surround suffering in our "˜mourning-avoidant' culture. Hunt illuminates the varied pathways parents eventually discover that open their lives to strength and healing. Rather than prescribing a path that will lead to recovery, Hunt encourages parents to find the pathways that work for them as they seek to engage life again with meaning and hope. Each chapter includes questions for reflection and discussion, plus recent research on grief and loss.
not only helps grieving parents, it also provides an insightful resource for those wanting to understand and come alongside a family in grief.
