All grieving takes time. It can't be hurried or covered up. But grieving for a parent can be especially complicated. What if your relationship wasn't very good? What if there are un resolved issues? What if you must care for a living parent in the midst of your own grief? Barbara Bartocci, who has lost both of her parents, approaches all the hard questions with compassion, a hopeful outlook, and a wealth of practical wisdom. This is a book of true stories, the author's own and that of friends. Each poignant vignette captures an important moment. But it doesn't end there. For each story there is 'A Step Forward,' offering a practical suggestion on how to cope with you loss and find new meaning beyond grief.
