Heartfelt: A Companion for Bereaved Parents



Heartfelt: A Companion for Bereaved Parents 

by Jeri Rae Miller (Author)
Paperback: 72 pages (December 30, 2006)
Cypress House; first edition 



This is a friend of mine Jeri, who I could not imagine being in her shoes; after her little boy was struck and killed by a gardener's truck. Please offer to someone you know who can benefit from this HEARTFELT book and also support other bereaved parents. Thank you.

Product Description
In 1976, Jeri Rae Miller's seven-year-old son, Christian, was killed in an automobile accident. After more than a year of agonizing grief, Ms. Miller created the Heartfelt Support Group to help other bereaved parents. Based on the knowledge she developed while counseling thousands of bereaved parents during the group's twenty-one years of operation, she wrote Heartfelt in hope of reaching out to even more grieving families and helping them survive the greatest loss of all. Heartfelt is a beacon of hope and a road map for recovery. Not a lengthy psychological treatise, it is intentionally concise for ease of reference, walking the reader through the stages of grief in chapters that can be read and reread in minutes. Although it focuses on parental grief, the insight it offers will help and comfort all who mourn the loss of any loved one, assuring them that, while their lives have changed forever, they will survive and smile again.

About the Author
Jeri Rae Miller has been a homemaker for her entire adult life, and family has always been her greatest joy. She is the mother of five children and a stepson, and has fourteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. After operating the Heartfelt Support Group for twenty-one years, she withdrew from active participation.

    This seems like a wonderful book to read for those who are in the kind of pain no one could understand unless you went through it. What a courageous act of kindness to put something together for other people. People need people. People help people. It's what makes the world go smoothly, at least we can hope. This is a genuinely wonderful idea for those who need what even family and good friend couldn't give. Thanks for sharing.
