Clair Jantzen: Grief and Loss Therapist

What a wonderful way to honor a loved one!

09/06/2025

This is my new favorite book on the subject of grief. Its gut-wrenching honesty pulled tears of pain from me, mingled with tears of admiration and appreciation for the way she “gets it” and recounts it.

Significant to me was my own history with some of the author’s family—I knew both the father she misses (as a teenager) and her grandpa John (my pastor in the early 70’s).

Thank you, Laura, for this very vulnerable revelation of your heart’s journey with your abba.

When we favor a child, we don’t gain a friend, we almost certainly ensure his disrespect. Learning how to spread our love evenly, while treating each child uniquely, is the fine art of parenting.
