Description:

The parental agony of losing an infant, child, teenager, or young adult—to illness or accident—afflicts over 100,000 American families each year. Typically it is a shattering experience for the bereaved family. But for the survivors, life goes on, permanently changed. In this moving episode, we visit with Bob and Chris Lewis of Minneapolis, MN. In 1989, their beloved teenage son died suddenly from a car accident. Shortly afterward, they were invited to join the Compassionate Friends, a support group for grieving parents, operated at no charge throughout the US and in dozens of countries worldwide.
