Although five percent of the population loses a mother or
father...few of us are psychologically prepared for the
experience in later life. Death Benefits explores the
uncharted territory each of us enters when a parent leaves
us, and offers a blueprint for positive change in every
aspect of our lives. Death Benefits demonstrates through
powerful stories (including the author’s own revelatory
experience) how parent loss is the most potent catalyst for
change in middle age and can actually offer us our last,
best chance to become our truest, deepest selves. Safer
challenges the conventional wisdom that fundamental change
is only for the young; and that loss must simply be endured
or overcome. Filled with moving and engaging stories of real
men and women re-imagining themselves after a parent’s
death, it is a fresh, impassioned, and sophisticated look at
self-transformation in later life.
