When Children Grieve

THE FIRST-AND DEFINITIVE-GUIDE TO HELPING CHILDREN REALLY DEAL WITH LOSS, FROM THE AUTHORS OF THE GRIEF RECOVERY HANDBOOK.

To watch a child grieve and not know what to do is a profoundly difficult experience for parents, teachers, and caregivers.  Yet, there are guidelines for helping children develop a lifelong, healthy response to loss.

In When Children Grieve, the authors offer a cutting-edge volume to free children from the false idea of "not feeling bad" and to empower them with positive, effective methods of dealing with loss.

There are many life experiences that can produce feelings of grief in a child, from the death of a relative or a divorce in the family to more everyday experiences such as moving to a new neighborhood or losing a prized possession.  No matter the reason or degree of severity, if a child you love is grieving, the guidelines examined in this thoughtful took can make a difference.

"There isn't anyone in life who hasn't experienced some kind of loss.  It's comforting to know that we are not alone in our sadness and that practical, easy-to-read, thoughtful help is available by way of Russell Friedman, John James, and Leslie Landon Matthews's gentle insights on the pages of When Children Grieve.  Thank you, Neighbors, for your obvious care."-- Fred Rogers, Producer/Host of Mister Rigers' Neighborhood  and honorary chairman of the Caring Place, a center for grieving children, adolescents, and their families.
