Review
Chronic Sorrow offers a gold mine of crucial information for those enduring a loss with no foreseeable and for the professionals tasked with helping them. The book acknowledges the depth of complicating factors within this living loss while recognizing the strength, wisdom, resilience and appreciation that also accompany it. Dr. Roos' work is scholarly, yet compassionate. She strikes a balance between empirical research and lived experience, addressing a significant void in the literature.

Dr. Roos has managed to combine detailed research with intimate soul connection in producing this highly creative book on the subject of human sorrow and loss. It is a subject of the deepest human concern, something that touches us all. Whether the reader belongs to one of the caring professions or is simply a caring individual, this work will bring needed information and, even more, deep comfort.
–Robert Sardello, Ph.D., author of Freeing the Soul from Fear and Love and the World: A Guide to Conscious Soul Practice
Susan Roos has written a comprehensive and important book regarding the little understood phenomenon of chronic sorrow. She has compiled reams of research and her own observations as a therapist into a detailed, analytical, pioneering work. Her experiences as a mother of two developmentally disabled daughters, one who died at the age of 3, seem to be the foundation and the cement for this work. Roos has crafted a volume that needs to be read by clinicians and medical professionals. ppIt is my hope that the author has plans to write another book geared specifically toward parents and caretakers experiencing other-loss. This book is appropriate for professionals...Undoubtedly, further research will be spurred by Roos's important addition to the field of grief and the concept of chronic sorrow. She has made an immense contribution to those experiencing self-loss and other loss, from which many will benefit..

With compassion and understanding that comes from her own sorrow and her work with patients, Dr. Roos has given us a book that is wise and helpful. She offers help to those who know chronic sorrow and those who work with patients suffering as they struggle to cope with unremitting life circumstances; a retarded child, a protracted terminal illness, a suffering that won't end. Dr. Roos has lived and studied this life. She will help others live it as well and as fully as possible.
