Editorial Review: Product Description: Sixteen years ago, Dennis Apple discovered his teenage son's lifeless body on their family room couch. Eighteen-year-old Denny had died without warning from complications due to Mono. Life After the Death of My Son shares a glimpse of the unspeakable pain, helplessness, frustration, and eventual healing that Dennis and his wife, Beulah, have experienced since losing their son. Using excerpts from his journal, which he began the day after Denny died, Dennis explores the dark, lonely road of grieving for a child. He discloses his anger and disappointment with God; discusses his frustrations with friends and family; and shares how he's dealt with the grief attacks, which continue to sneak up and surprise him. His painful, yet promising story offers comfort and connection to those walking similar paths. With understanding and compassion, Dennis offers grieving parents insight from 10 lessons he's learned--and continues to learn. His gentle words and honest understanding will guide those with grieving hearts on their difficult journey, giving them hope; and helping them discover the ways God can continue the life of the child they loved and lost. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Really good book, I could have wrote it myselfI really think this book is so true for anyone who has grieved the loss of a child. Even though my child died stillborn 4 days before birth (full term) I can relate to the extreme sadness that one has after the loss. He says in the book how the death of a child is harder than any othe loss because it is the loss of the future and your hopes and dreams... I couldn't have said it better myself. I wish people could read this book who were family members so they would see what the feeling ... Read More Rating: - One of the bestAfter the death of my 19 yr. old son to an accidental poisoning I was and still am devastated. I quickly read all the books on and by people who have suffered such losses. Some give a clinical veiw and some are to much "move on and be joyous" I dont feel very joyous. Mr. Apple is so very open and honest about his feellings and thoughts. The book expressed many things I also have felt. One of my top 5 along with "Lament for a son" and "Goodbye my son Hello". Rating: - POWERFUL INSIGHT INTO THE REAL WORLD OF CHILD LOSSThere is a time and place for everything. Our God is an awesome God but Dennis Apple gives a very refreshing and honest insight from those of us who have walked in similar shoes. My hat is off to Dennis for his ability to write this book and share his feelings. I am buying additional copies to give away because I wish I would have read this sooner. Thank you, Dennis. Rating: - An amazing, inciteful bookThis is a book written by someone who has been there. It is filled with honest, heartwrenching details that could only be known by one who has walked through the valley of losing someone before his/her time. It has been over two years since our beloved Eric died, and I've scoured the bookshelves for something that would give me the comfort of knowing someone else survived the darkness and emptiness of such a great loss. This is the book I was looking for. Rating:  - Helpful,able to relate to parents..In this book the father will say thoughts that often go unspoken to others.Thoughts that I have had. His suggestions for ways to memorialize are very helpful.. Life is like a blurr after losing my 18 yr old son. It was impacting to me when I saw that Mono was involoved due to fact that my son never quite recovered from his episode of Mono and I believe that it contributed to his death. Thank you to the family for helping others.
