Meditations for Bereaved Parents is a collection of one and two-page meditations written by men and women of all ages who have had a child die. The book provides an honest confrontation with grief and help for moving beyond it. Spiritual without being preachy, none of the authors say, "This is what you have to do to heal." Rather, each in his or her own way shares what helped them in hopes it will help the reader too. It is a book for parents to turn to in the still of the night when sleep won't come and they need to know that someone, somewhere understands exactly how they are feeling at that moment.

Patricia Walworth Wood Quality Meditations which speak to the parents who have suffered the most difficult I can imagine. The cover is exceptionally well done and appropriate. The book is compassionate, caring, and comforting. I have not been in that position but I have read each meditation. I wanted to know what I was giving to friends whose children have died for I have given copies to friends whose children have died too young.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Personal experience this is the best book,

Years ago when I lost a child everyone had a book for me to read. I couldn't concentrate on over a page or two at a time because my thoughts were so scattered and I didn't feel any identification with anyone in the books I was given. Every situation is unique. Months later I found this book myself in a Christian Book Store. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone that has lost a child. One of the reasons was that the stories were so short that I could concentrate for a limited amount of time on what I was reading. There is enough variety in the book making it easy to find a situation to identify with. I have bought this book for other people who have lost children, and was just doing an Internet Search for the book for someone else when I came across this. I very seldom leave an opinion at any place like this, but I have to recommend this book very highly. A must have for anyone suffering such a terrible loss.
