Heartfelt: A Companion for Bereaved Parents

In 1976, Jeri Rae Miller's seven-year-old son, Christian, was killed in an automobile accident. After more than a year of agonizing grief, Ms. Miller created the Heartfelt Support Group to help other bereaved parents. Based on the knowledge she developed while counseling thousands of bereaved parents during the group's twenty-one years of operation, she wrote Heartfelt in hope of reaching out to even more grieving families and helping them survive the greatest loss of all. Heartfelt is a beacon of hope and a road map for recovery. Not a lengthy psychological treatise, it is intentionally concise for ease of reference, walking the reader through the stages of grief in chapters that can be read and reread in minutes. Although it focuses on parental grief, the insight it offers will help and comfort all who mourn the loss of any loved one, assuring them that, while their lives have changed forever, they will survive and smile again.
