How to Heal After Losing a Child Without Losing Yourself as a Parent

A compassionate guide for grieving parents who still need to show up for their families

By Kirk Scarlett, LMT

The eBook That’s Helped Thousands Start Healing: Losing a child is the most devastating pain a parent can face. It feels impossible to keep living, much less keep parenting.

But here you are — grieving while also trying to hold your family together.

Your surviving children need you. Yet inside, you feel broken. Some days, you’re paralyzed by grief. Other days, you put on a mask and pretend you’re “strong.” But pretending only leaves you more exhausted.

You don’t need to choose between grieving and parenting. You can do both.

This ebook will show you how.

Here's what you'll discover inside:

  • The 5-Step Healing Process — A clear roadmap to grieving without guilt, while parenting with presence.

  • How to Talk to Your Children About Loss — Age-appropriate words and scripts to help them understand and feel safe.

  • Rituals of Remembrance — Simple ways to honor your child’s memory without being trapped in sorrow.

  • Self-Care Strategies That Actually Work — Including journaling, massage therapy, guided meditation, and small daily practices that restore your strength.

  • Rebuilding Family Connection — How to heal together instead of growing apart.

  • Real-Life Case Studies — Stories of parents who found a way forward, including a mother balancing grief and justice after the wrongful death of her teenage son.

Imagine this: You no longer feel torn between grieving and parenting. Your children see your love, your strength, and your vulnerability. They feel safe again. You feel less broken, more present, and more connected.

This is what’s possible when you follow the steps inside.

You may be wondering: Can a book really help me in the middle of so much pain?

Here’s why it works:

  • Research shows that children cope better when parents grieve openly and honestly, rather than hiding their emotions.

  • Counselors agree that rituals of remembrance and guided self-care are key tools in healing after loss.

  • Parents who have used these steps report feeling less isolated, more connected to their families, and better able to balance grief with daily life.

You Can’t Change What Happened.
