“The Loss That Is Forever.” is a book written by a psychologist named Maxine Harris.
It’s about the impact of a parent’s death on a child.
When a child loses a parent, that child grows up feeling different and alone.
A story is written in a secret place in that child’s mind, a story of loss and pain and the triumph over that pain.
It remains intensely private, hidden, sometimes even from the child.
Anderson Cooper’s (CNN) mom and he experienced a lot of early loss as a child.
Different and alone is how both of them felt most of our lives.
Cooper conducts a podcast entitled, “This is All There Is” which is designed to help those who lost a parent as a child. (Anderson Cooper-CNN)
