How does a parent cope after the death of a child? Each essay in Always With Me: Parents Talk about the Death of a Child reveals the experiences of parents who have lived through the devastation and upheaval of their child’s death. Parents describe the maelstrom they face in their inner landscapes, coping strategies, and realigned place in the world. The writers in this collection of stories take on such topics as shock and isolation, despair, guilt, and how they attempt to make sense of their shattered lives. They offer insights into how their grief and loss are worked through, and why certain personal connections are severed, others strengthened. Importantly, they describe how, with lives altered indelibly, they try to press forward to find a new place in the world.

This is a harrowing true story of how one man overcame a near-death experience and lived to tell about it. He fought every day with his wife and children by his side. Relearning everything from speaking to feeding himself, his wife never gave up hope. No matter what the cost, his wife would do it to make sure that he was well taken care of. She spent many sleepless nights wondering when he would be coming home. Balancing a full-time job, family, discord and her husband clinging to life, and kids, she was at her wits end and needed all the support she could get. Reluctantly she moved her mother-in-law in with her. Would her husband make a full recovery? Would life return to normal? That and many other questions still remained unanswered.

Have fun making flying paper airplanes with your child.
