The Orphaned Adult

Losing our parents after we have become adults is the natural order of things. Yet it is almost always more difficult than we imagined it would be. This book will help you grieve, accept your losses, & understand how you have been changed forever by them. It validates the disorienting emotions that can accompany the death of our parents by sharing the moving stories of the many adults Levy has counseled. He gently guides us through the storms of transition: form the sudden onset of childlike sorrow to sometimes-subtle changes in identity; from new friendship patterns & ways of worship, to dramatic shifts of roles within the surviving family, & recognition of our own mortality.
