Complicating the natural mourning process is the fact that this loss often occurs in our thirties, forties, or fifties--as we are raising our own children, watching them leave the nest, and facing other adjustments in our lives, from our jobs to our marriages to our health. This thoughtful exploration of a neglected subject explains the emotional impact of losing our parents in the midst of midlife--and why many underestimate it. Discussing such topics as changes in self-image, unresolved issues, guilt, sorrow, and anger, the emotional impact of inheritance, and the shifting of roles as a result of "midlife orphanhood," Jane Brooks shows us how to find new sources of strength, in both ourselves and others, after our parents are gone. About the Author: Jane Brooks has a master's degree in educational technology from the university of Maryland, and is the co-author of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia Guide to Common Childhood Infections. She has been a freelance writer for more than twenty-five years, lives in suburban Philadelphia, and is the mother of two sons. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
