The "Growing Through Grief" Series

When Your Parent Dies
by John Kennedy Saynor

"We are at a point in history when a large percentage of the population finds itself faced with the death or potential death of parents. It is a time when children watch their parents deteriorate physically and often mentally. It is a very difficult time."

Tip: Work at keeping the lines of communication open between you and your siblings. They understand more than anyone what your loss means. Remember, each member of the family has a personal loss and each will mourn the death of your parent for different reasons and in different ways.
