Losing a Child: Explorations in Grief by Linda Hurcombe is a compassionate and insightful book that offers support to parents and families facing one of life’s most devastating experiences—the death of a child.
Drawing on personal stories, research, and professional insight, the book explores the unique and often overwhelming grief that comes with such a loss. It acknowledges how each family member may grieve differently and offers guidance for navigating the emotional, psychological, and relational challenges that follow.
Whether the child was young or grown, the book provides reassurance that grief is personal and complex—and that it’s okay to grieve in your own way and at your own pace. It also outlines the various kinds of support available, from professional counselling to peer groups, helping families find paths toward healing.
