In addition to their own grief, there is the worry about how the children will cope with the situation. The author sensitively explains how children grieve and provides answers to pressing questions: How do I prepare my child for the loss of a loved one? Where can I find help, and when is professional support necessary? Vivid examples of rituals and shared activities for coping with grief, dealing with feelings and memories, as well as suggestions for talking and philosophizing with children make this book a valuable companion.
