Author speaks about dealing with a childs death
John W. James began exploring grief and writing about recovery from immense loss not out of intellectual pursuit but because of a broken heart.
The discovery of a little girls body this week has broken metro Detroits heart, too.
The exhuming of what is thought to be 5-year-old Nevaeh Buchanans body from the banks of the River Raisin has affected the emotions of her family and the thousands of people who helped search for her, donated money to¬ward finding her and prayed for her return.
James, 65, whose 3-day-old son died three decades ago from improper lung development, was driven from working through his own grief process to founding the Grief Recovery Institute and coauthoring The Grief Recovery Handbook. A 20th Anniversary edition was published this spring. James spoke from his California office Thursday afternoon about dealing with a childs death, comforting those who hurt the most and a communal sense of loss.
