That journey led her to Jungian archetypal lpsychology....Dr. Mathes establishes a background that guides the reader through the steps and archetypes that mark the process of mourning. Through personal experience, myth, and stories, she shows how one can gain a renewed sense of inner and outer wholeness in life....also offers practical resources such as movies, books, and music that help parents regain perspective and learn how and where to reach out for help.'
