Just My Reflection by Frances Dominica ASSP

Helping families to do things their way when their child dies

There can be no tragedy greater than the death of a child. For those closest to the child everything seems to be beyond their control. Yet there are many choices which must be made and these need not be the prerogative of the doctor, pastor or funeral director, or indeed of anyone else other than the child's parents and family. In this book, Sister Frances Dominica draws on ther experience as founder of Helen House to suggest practical ways for the bereaved family to exercise these choices at the time of death, and find comfort in expressing love for their child to the very last.

The first section offers advice on the various decisions that will have to be made, the options open to the family an the kegal requirements.

The second section is an anthology of readings, songs and prayers from which the family may create a funeral service which is fitting for their child.

It has been written not onlt for the family but for anyone, professional or lay, who is likely to come alongside them before, during or after their child's death.

In the rawness of the family's grief, and the long, aching stuggle to adjust to life without their beloved child, the knowledge that the last things were chosen and done by them, with the dignity, beauty and love appropriate for their unique and special child, may comfort them a little.
