Publisher's summary

After the death of a child, there is no closure. It is like learning how to live with an amputation—you are forever changed and need to learn how to live a new “normal”. There can be a feeling of desperation to find someone farther ahead on the path who can understand the crushing pain that makes you feel like you can’t even breathe at times.

Laura Diehl was plunged into that place with the death of her daughter and experienced the deep need to connect with others who had experienced what cannot be put into words. When Tragedy Strikes is the raw account of her journey from deep darkness back into light and life, extending a hand of hope to those traveling on the path behind her who need to rebuild their lives after the death of a child.

Excellent resource for people who have lost children

Excellent resource for people who have lost children. The author is Christian and brings her faith into the text so be prepared for that. She is also several years away from the death of her adult daughter so for those who have recently lost a younger child, you will need to take some of the “hopeful” advice with a grain of salt. It’s hard to explain what I mean unless you have lost a child. Still the same, she continually acknowledges that there is no formula, no timeline, and that all grief is different so that is helpful. I have been reading a lot of books, trying to find comfort, direction, community while in the depths of grief and her books are really helpful.
