Raising Sunshine: A Guide to Parenting Through the Aftermath of Infant Death - 1620

Should my five-year-old attend her brother’s funeral? What should my son say if other kids don’t know how to act around him? Is it normal for my child to struggle in school after the death of our baby? How do I tell them she is never coming home? When a baby dies, parents are overwhelmed by a tsunami of questions about how to care for living children. Understandably, they seek advice from friends, family and experts but they quickly discover that few people have any suggestions to offer. In fact, they are wading into what feels like uncharted territory. This is unfortunate because the reality is that many families have weathered similar losses. Yet, no one has offered what these parents really need: practical, evidence-based guidance for helping their children to navigate this loss. Most importantly, though, these parents need hope that their living child can not only survive but also grow and thrive. Stepping into this void, Ariane Sroubek, Psy.D., wrote Raising Sunshine to provide parents with the realistically optimistic survival manual they require. As a mother who has parented her own child through the death of an infant sibling, Dr. Sroubek seamlessly weaves together insights gained through her family’s grief with the knowledge she acquired through her studies of child psychology. The result is the book that she wished she had in the days after her daughter’s death and the book that parents of grieving siblings have been waiting for.
