Helping Children Say Goodbye (Paperback)

Paperback. When a loved one is seriously ill or dying, it can be hard to know how to prepare a child for a hospital visit. *Helping Children Say Goodbye* offers gentle guidance and practical ideas for families navigating that moment. Drawing on my experience as a Child Life Specialist and a mother, I created this 30-page guide to help you: - Talk with children about what is happening in clear, age-appropriate words- Prepare them for what they may see and hear in an ICU room- Offer choices about visiting and saying goodbye- Explore simple memory-making activities- Support children's questions and feelings afterward The guide also includes a 2 page quick-reference section for families who have little time to prepare. **PLEASE NOTE**This resource provides general support and is not medical advice. Your loved one's care team can advise you about their condition, hospital policies, and what is appropriate during a visit. **PERSONAL USE ONLY**Your purchase is for your extended family's personal use. Please do not share, reproduce, resell, or distribute copies. Hospitals and organizations interested in distributing the guide may contact me about permission. This item is printed on demand.
