Losing a Child
by Linda Hurcombe
How do parents survive when their child dies?
Losing a Child offers support, information and practical advice for any parent facing the loss of a child, and for everyone – family, friend, professional carer – who is helping them find ways to cope. The author’s aim is to stand beside those who suffer, and help them carry on, even when others find it hard to bear their grief.
Linda Hurcombe’s daughter Caitlin died aged 19. This powerful and at times heart-wrenching book has grown out of a mother’s and a family’s grief.
Linda includes in her compassionate account of parental grief much practical information and advice. This is a book of great humanity and warmth. (Dorothy Rowe, from the Foreward.)
Linda Hurcombe is a writer, editor and educator. From 2001 to 2004 she served as editor of Compassion, the quarterly journal of The Compassionate Friends UK. Linda is mother of two children – Caitlin, and a surviving older brother, Sean – and lives in Shropshire.
