5.0 out of 5 stars a childs understanding of death, August 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: After the Tears, A Gentle Guide to Help Children Understand Death (Grief) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After a death in our family.. We showed this video to the children in our family.. It had such an impact that friends asked to borrow it for their children. It opened up alot of conversation that allowed us to freely feel the sorrow yet allowed us to share the emotions that were so much on the surface .It helped the children ( as well as the adults) to share what we were all thinking & feeling .It is a video that does help the mind & spirit to heal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Midwest Book Review (video), August 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: After the Tears, A Gentle Guide to Help Children Understand Death (Grief) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"After the Tears, A Gentle Guide to Help Children Understand Death" is a highly recommendable video that will be of immense service to parents, teachers, pastors, youth workers, hospice and hospital personnel in helping a child through the grieving process when a loved one dies. Diane Crandall draws upon her experience of 33 years as a devoted teacher to address this sensitive subject with passion and effective communication. Children begin by learning about the loss of a beloved pet, and then progress to the more difficult concept of losing a family member or friend. Diane also speaks of Heaven and Jesus, suggesting a number of constructive activities that will help a child effectively deal with the inevitable sense of loss. Sensitive, empathetic, informative, inspiring, effective, "After the Tears" is the best approach to helping children deal with the phenomenon of death on video to date.

This program was beautifully done! It was designed to resemble the comfort of a Sunday School setting. The children are taught about death, the process of death, what it means to grieve, and how our faith will sustain us in a very difficult time. Adults who need a gentle hand of understanding would also benefit from watching this video.
