Sooner or later, everyone is confronted with the topics of death and loss. For children, this is an especially difficult process during which they must not be left alone. Otherwise, a normal emotional reaction can turn into an illness. This book helps you understand children better and presents ways to optimally support them during the grieving process.

The authors illustrate how children react at different developmental stages and explain why the repression of grief can have serious consequences.

Contents include: stages of grief, pathological mourning, mourning rituals, the picture book "Goodbye, Mr. Muffin," and the taboo of death.
