Losing a Child and the Grieving Process by Bruce Watt is a true story. You have just received the worst possible news – your daughter has terminal cancer. She has just a couple of months left to live and she is only 18 years old. How would you react? How would you cope, knowing that one of the most precious things in your life is about to leave you forever? Bruce and his family went through that and this book is his story on how they handled the last couple of months and the passing of their daughter. You don’t expect to outlive your children and to lose one at such a young age, a young woman at the start of the best years of her life, is devastating. Bruce has opened his heart and let you into his life, to try to help others who are going through the same experience.
Losing a Child and the Grieving Process by Bruce Watt is an emotional roller coaster of a read. For many people, it is hard to imagine what it would be like to lose a child, no matter what age they are at. This book offers up a real insight on what it must be like, the emotions that change by the hour, the fear, the grief that never leaves you, and how life can change in an instant. The emotions that Bruce felt come out clearly, soaked into the pages, into every written and unwritten word. He offers words of wisdom for those who are going through the same experience, guidelines and advice, as well as telling us how their lives changed forever, how they now interpret life, and how to live with what had happened. We don’t get a manual when we are born, we don’t get a guide to tell us how we should cope with certain situations; we just have to get on with it. This book is a way of offering comfort to others, of offering hope and a hand to hold. This is a truly heart-breaking story, one that we all hope never to have to go through.
