Your worst fear has come true, and now you're facing a future without your child.

The death of a child is an unimaginable pain no parent should have to endure. Yet here you are, facing a grief unlike any other. It's a unique sorrow that not everyone can understand, no matter your child's age when it happened. The feeling that you were never meant to outlive them weighs heavily on your heart.

Even though death is part of life, losing a teenage or young adult child—just as their dreams were unfolding—feels senseless. Life without them seems empty, and imagining life without them seems impossible.

You need guidance from someone who truly understands the unique challenges of losing a child. This guide offers the hope and support you’re searching for. While it can't take away the pain, it can help you navigate this difficult journey.

Inside, discover:

• Why your loss is uniquely difficult
• How to talk about your grief with both those who understand
• Guidance for handling overwhelming emotions
• How to support your other children as they cope with their sibling's death
• Ways to handle grief when you and your partner process it differently
• Tips for managing family life and social events with an empty seat
• Advice for facing special days and anniversaries
• Meaningful ways to honor your child
• Strategies for coping with daily life
• The impact of grief on your body and how to manage it
• Tools for working through your emotions
• Inspiring stories from other parents

Though it may seem impossible now, with time and the right support, you’ll begin to see a path forward, one day at a time.
