"A truly healing book." - Glen Lord, President, The Compassionate Friends

Unthinkable. Unbelievable. Heartbreaking. Whatever words we choose, they all fall far short of the reality. The loss of a child is a terrible thing.

Accidents. Disease. Suicide. School shootings. Murder. Natural disasters. War. No matter how or when, the death of a child (no matter what age) can shatter the heart.

How do you survive this? Can you?

Shattered: Surviving the Loss of a Child was written to help.

Bestselling author, hospice chaplain, and grief specialist Gary Roe uses his three decades of experience interacting with grieving parents to give us this heartfelt, easy-to-read, and intensely practical book. In Shattered, Roe walks the reader through the powerful impact a child's death can have - emotionally, mentally, physically, relationally, and spiritually.

Shattered unpacks the depth of this loss, describing how...



  • Intense, unpredictable emotions (sadness, anger, guilt, anxiety, fear, depression) can hijack us at a moment's notice.

  • Our minds spin. We can't concentrate. We forget things. It feels like we're going crazy.

  • Our bodies get hit. Symptoms surface. Our health can be impacted. Illness can invade.

  • Our souls feel crushed. Guilt shakes us. What we believe gets challenged.

  • Our relationships change. Marriage, family, and friendships feel the impact.

  • Our plans and dreams are shattered. The future has changed. We're in uncharted territory.

Yes, the loss of a child affects everything.


In Shattered, you will discover how you can...


  • Deal with the volatile, unpredictable emotions assaulting you.

  • Manage the massive changes that are occurring in your life and routine.

  • Move through feeling overwhelmed and begin to heal.

  • Take care of yourself and your health amid all the challenges.

  • Honor your child with how you grieve.

  • Love those around you, even with a broken heart.

  • Navigate spiritual uncertainties and faith questions.

  • Turn couple, family, and relational upheaval into personal growth.

  • Support your other children in their grief and parent well through this.

  • Find the people and resources you need to begin to recover.

  • Decipher whether counseling or grief coaching would be beneficial for you.

  • Live life as well as possible while in the midst of great pain.

  • Make your child's life count in deep and powerful ways.

Shattered is not a magic pill. The death of a child cannot be fixed. But comfort, compassion, guidance, and hope can be found in these pages.
