Publisher's Synopsis
Cynthia's ability to offer and share with the reader insight into her own personal story, her internal struggles and emotions while at the same time providing perspective, knowledge and resources on this painful topic is certainly unique. I would strongly recommend communal rabbis to read this book and to have it available to share with their congregants if ever needed.
Rabbi Daniel Rabin, Rabbi South Caulfield Hebrew Congregation
Rabbi Allison Conyer, Etz Chayim Progressive Synagogue It is rare to find a book written by a bereaved parent that covers the theoretical principles of grief, whilst maintaining the warmth and integrity of the writer's personal story within the context of the Jewish religion. I would happily give the book to my clients to read.
Karen Ludski, Grief Counsellor Cynthia has used her skills and motivation to bring the wisdom garnered from this group context, along with the experience of her own painful loss, to bear in this new book which addresses many of the common fears and issues confronted by bereaved parents. What makes this book remarkable is that it directly addresses the virtual absence of books and literature which speak directly to the bereaved Jewish parent.
Christopher Hall, CEO, Australian Centre for Grief and Bereavement An engaging, informative and touching book. Up-to-date and very accessible in style of writing and short chapters with itemised sub-sections. Great to read about and get a sense of Danny, too.
Andrew McNess, CEO, The Compassionate Friends of Victoria
