Summary:

Inglis's story is a springboard that can help other bereaved parents--and anyone who has experienced wrenching loss--reflect on emotional survival in the first year; dealing with family, friends, and bystanders post-loss; the unique survivors' guilt, feelings of failure, and isolation of bereavement; and the fortitude of like-minded community and small kindnesses.
