Description: Love Untethered: How to Live When Your Child Dies is about holding on to hope and finding meaning and purpose again after a traumatic loss.

Verdict: Vanessa May gives a moving account of what she went through after the unexpected death of her son, demonstrating that it�s possible to survive such a shattering and traumatic loss, even when that might feel impossible.

By sharing her personal experience, the author enables others who have gone through a similar loss to feel less isolated in their grief. She also provides advice on supporting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing using her experience - not just as a bereaved mother, but as a nutritional therapist, wellbeing coach and now holistic grief coach.

She offers the reader various tools for withstanding a devastating loss and for navigating a particularly challenging path.

As aforementioned, Love Untethered is about holding on to hope when it feels like there isn�t any, and about finding purpose as a means of surviving a devastating and life-changing bereavement, and believe me when I say that it succeeds on all levels with that regard.

No parent is prepared for a child�s death. Parents are simply not supposed to outlive their children. It is important to remember that how long your child lived does not determine the size of your loss. The loss of a child is profound at every age.

Parents of young children are intimately involved in their daily lives. Death changes every aspect of family life, often leaving an enormous emptiness. Indeed, the death of an older child or adolescent is difficult because children at this age are beginning to reach their potential and become independent individuals.

When an adult child dies, you lose not only a child but often a close friend, a link to grandchildren, and an irreplaceable source of emotional and practical support. You may also discover that you begin to grieve for the hopes and dreams you had for your child, the potential that will never be realized, and the experiences you will never share.

If you lost your only child, you may also feel that you have lost your identity as a parent and perhaps the possibility of grandchildren. The pain of these losses will always be a part of you.

But here in Love Untethered: How to Live When Your Child Dies, author Vanessa May lovingly, heartwarmingly walks you through the stages, the questions, the portions of disbelief that will flood your being, ultimately making us aware that, over time, most parents find a way forward and begin to experience happiness and meaning in life once again.
