At every stage of our lives, we gather life experiences—both positive and negative. A significant turning point occurs when we lose our parents. Suddenly, we find ourselves at the head of the family, and important sources of guidance are missing. The shaping of our lives is now in our hands. Psychotherapist Shari Butler views this profound loss as an opportunity and a new beginning as an adult. She demonstrates, through questions and exercises, the possibility of positive grief work and identifies ways in which we can realign and grow without our parents.
