Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Heartbreaking.

Whatever words we choose, they all fall far short of the reality. The loss of a child is a terrible thing.

How do you survive this? Can you?

Multiple award-winning author, hospice chaplain, and grief specialist Gary Roe uses his three decades of experience interacting with grieving parents to give us this heartfelt, easy-to-read, and intensely practical book. In Shattered, Roe walks the reader through the powerful impact a child's death can have - emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, and spiritually.
