Working in the children's cancer unit of a New York hospital for
fifteen years, Norman Fried has been psychotherapist and counselor
to both physically ill children and their worried families and
friends. He has been part of scenes of bitterness and pain-and has
observed how these sad moments have taught all concerned about
life's important lessons. Sitting at the bedsides of children with
life-threatening cancer, he has been sadly fortunate to hear their
messages of hope and love, which have taught him how to help those
they were leaving behind. The Angel Letters is his extraordinary
book based on his experiences. It is intended for the living but is
composed in the form of letters addressed to a dozen different
children whose last days and months he shared intimately. From each
experience he draws a lesson-in love, family, courage, belonging,
etc.-that can help parents and family learn to suffer through the
tragedy of their sick or lost child, drawing strength from their
understanding of what has happened and from an appreciation for
their child's perspective. "No story ends in death," Dr. Fried
writes, "not in this book, and not in life. What happens after
death is ours to ponder and struggle with. Some questions remain
unanswered. But how a family lives after a death, how we as
mourners can carry on-these are the questions I wrestle with here."
In The Angel Letters he proves to be an inspiring companion for
this difficult journey.
