Reviews for Sandy's Book:

How to Survive the Worst That Can Happen: A Parent’s Step by Step Guide to Healing After the Loss of a Child by Sandy Peckinpah is a self-help book aimed at helping parents through their worst nightmare - the loss of a child. Everybody's grief is different but in the end we all go through the same grief stages. Sandy gives you practical step-by-step techniques on how to live through these stages, what to expect, and how to heal. Through different techniques like expressing your feeling through writing, leaning on the love and support of your friends and family, sharing your story and many more, the book shows you how to live through this nightmare and finally move on with life.

How to Survive the Worst That Can Happen is a book that teaches you how to heal after losing a child. Sandy Peckinpah starts the book off with her personal story, her own journey through the loss of her 16-year-old boy and this sets the mood right away for the book and creates that special connection with the reader. It is not about forgetting the past, but about the healing process through accepting the loss and moving on, keeping the memories of your departed child. Sandy's words feel genuine all through the book, probably because she has been there and she is not just writing theories but tackling a topic that is very dear to her heart. It is simply amazing how she handles this very delicate subject in a way that is both sad and comforting; giving you hope that losing your child, as painful as it might be, is not the end of your life. It will hurt like hell and will change your life forever, but you will learn to live again.

Don’t You Feel Better After a “Good Cry?”

Navigating anticipatory grief with a good cry.

People often say, “I don’t want to start crying because I’m afraid I’ll never stop.” If you deny yourself time to cry, you’ll be denying a precious human gift to help navigate grief and release suffering by inviting the catharsis of tears.

As my son’s heavenly birthday approaches next month and fall leaves begin to turn, I feel the rumblings of anti

One of my favorite books ever. I couldn’t put it down and cried buckets at the end. What a beautifully written book. The characters come alive, set against the backdrop of history in a very dark time. I absolutely loved this book.
