The loss of a parent is a personal and unique emotional event for any
individual. However, such a loss is also a virtually universal situation
that we will all experience at some point in our lives. This book sets
out one such story surrounding the loss of the author's parents over the
period 2006 to 2012, yet brings a certain comfort in the knowledge of
people's commonality and universality. It is interspersed with
retrospective reflections and views, providing thoughts and options for
coping with the associated traumas. An epilogue is also included with
more generic reflections and wider considerations.
