Review: Fatherloss, How Sons of All Ages Come to Terms with the Death of Their Dads by Neil Chethik

"This is an excellent resource if you have boys who have lost their dad. My three boys lost their dad when they were 11, 18 and 19 respectively. It's been difficult knowing what was going on with them at times, emotionally and mentally, since each child reacted differently. Neil's book really helped me shed some light on certain behaviors and reactions, even now more than four years later. He gives many examples based on age groups of what to expect due to father loss, and what may be helpful to ease some of the pain due to that loss, and what a dad can do now for their sons. I really found this book helpful and would recommend it to anyone who has sons. The bottom line is, let your kids know you love them before it's too late."
