Getting Through the Days Joan Baker Scott

A poignant look at surviving the loss of a child from the first year and beyond, author Joan Baker Scott's compassionate book offers practical advice and encouragement for getting through the early days of mourning, working through grief over time, and eventually rebuilding one's life. Although there isn't a manual for how to live beyond the death of a child, and no single answer for how to cope with such a profound loss and move forward, this book offers critical insights. Filled with wisdom gained from her own grief journey after the loss of her son, the author interweaves her personal story with concrete suggestions and activities to help anyone navigate their own loss. Set into a colorful, visual format of short entries, poetry, and quotes, the book is easily accessible for anyone looking for grief resources or a meaningful bit of inspiration. If you are dealing with the loss of a child or know someone who is, then this book is an invaluable companion that ensures one is not alone on this journey.
