The surviving child wonders, “Don’t I mean anything to you?” Many times parents tend to idealize the dead child, and for that reason siblings often feel the child who died was the favorite. • Judith says that in surviving, you can’t do everything as you once did. “Everyone has a thing they can’t do—like going to the cemetery, or back to a favorite spot of your child’s, or to a supermarket where your child may have shopped with you, or to any place that stirs painful memories. Although you will go forward in many areas, there are also many areas in which you cannot go back.” -- part contents for background part 26 ----- text ----- • WHOLE EARTH • HEALTH • THE LAST OF LIFE • Survivors -- part contents for background part 27 ----- text ----- 04035421 -- part contents for background part 40 ----- text ----- card id 43307 -- part contents for background part 41 ----- text ----- card id 153821 -- part contents for background part 42 ----- text ----- stack "WHOLE EARTH" stack "HEALTH" card id 34345 card id 112638 -- part contents for background part 37 ----- text ----- card id 112638 -- part contents for background part 38 ----- text ----- card id 156358 -- part contents for background part 39 ----- text ----- card id 43135
