Talking with a grieving child may put a parent at a loss for words.

About this title

From the Author:

This book is written to offer guidance as you assist your child in their grieving. It can be read from beginning to end, or you can choose a chapter at a time. The book provides information about how children understand death, as well as how you can talk about it with them. Ways in which children grieve will be discussed, as well as how to help your child in this process. As a means of illustrating the material, I will share stories drawn from my experience as a nurse and a social worker over the past fifteen years. To protect the identities of people involved, names and circumstances have been changed. For ease in reading, I have chosen to reference the child as a female. There is no intention on my part to suggest that one gender is more or less important than the other in assuming a female child.

Be gentle with yourself and your child as you begin this grief journey.
