Edwards, Nicola
Published by Chrysalis Children's Books, 2003
A book to use for shared discussion with bereaved children. Sponsored by The Child Bereavement Trust, the book covers feelings of anger, sadness, being afraid and confused, lonely and 'different'. It emphasises the importance of talking, explains what death means and about funerals, and how families can help each other. There are also sections on holding fast to memories and managing difficult days. Various ways to cope are mentioned, and colour photographs showing families doing just that help the information along. Super production values.
