No event is as traumatic as the death of a child. Dr. Knapp has interviewed over 155 familes who experienced such a loss to determine how they coped, or failed to cope. This book presents the results of his research, shedding light on constructive measures for responding to the tragedy, and calling attention to the special needs of the surviving family members.

Dr. Knapp examines three types of death: death occurring after a long illness, sudden or unexpected death, and death by murder.

"Knapp has written a very readable and moving account of family tragedies and their aftermath . . . His poignant and compelling psychological descriptions . . . make this book absorbing reading.
--The Boston Herald
