Healing After the Loss of Your Parents: Finding Comfort & Purpose Through This New Life Stage as an Adult Orphanis a compassionate and empowering grief recovery guidebook that helps readers navigate through grief, cope with the profound changes that follow the death of our parents, and learn new ways to rebuild their life after loss.
Whether we think we are prepared or not, the passing of our parents ushers in a new stage in life as an "adult orphan." With it often comes a disorienting period of intense loneliness as we confront existential changes to our identity, sense of mortality, family of origin, and life purpose. It also tends to reawaken grief over the loss of our first parent.
This "natural rite of passage" brings a complex layer of grief and adaptation. After their deaths, it's common to feel lost and wonder: "What do I do now?" "Who am I now without them?" "Why do I feel so... untethered?"
