Loss That Is Forever: The Lifelong Impact of the Early Death of a Mother or Father » (Reprint)

Through extensive research, interviews with more than 65 men & women, & the compelling writings of Virginia Woolf, C. S. Lewis, Eleanor Roosevelt, Jean-Paul Sartre, Charlotte Bronte, & Charles Darwin, Dr. Harris illustrates how themes of loss & survival weave through the lives of those who have lost a parent in childhood. No aspect of adult development escapes the impact of early loss — who one becomes, how one loves, how one parents, & what one believes about the world are all shaped by the experience of a parents early death. Harriss eloquence is exceeded only by the compassion & insight she brings to this perplexing & formative experience.
