It can be very painful when your parent dies after a long and happy life. If they died unexpectedly or while younger this can be very difficult to cope with. For many of us, the death of a parent is a significant loss. It changes many aspects of our lives and will have an impact on the whole family. Feelings may be complicated. There is no 'right' way to grieve, and everyone experiences bereavement differently. However, there are some common feelings that many people share, and these can painful, surprising, or even frightening. This book is a collection of stories written after the death of a parent. The focus is not the grief, the sense of loss, the terrible sadness, but rather the simpler things. This is about the intricate and universal workings of family - regrets, learning, problem-solving, daily life, and most definitely, love.
