Summary

"When the New York Times ran Patrick OMalley's story about the loss of his infant son and how his inability to "move on" challenged everything he was taught as a psychotherapist, it inspired an unprecedented flood of gratitude from readers. What he shared was a truth that many have felt but rarely acknowledged by the professionals they turn to: that our grief is not a mental illness to be cured, but part of the abiding connection with the one we've lost" --Amazon.com
