5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent choice for ANYONE suffering a loss., November 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fire in My Heart, Ice in My Veins: A Journal for Teenagers Experiencing a Loss (Paperback)

I ordered this journal for my two teen-aged daughters,both of whom were suffering greatly with the loss of my mother, their grandmother. The book is a wonderful aid in helping them express all the things they were afraid to vocalize. It allows them to write down their thoughts and feelings on such subjects as what they were doing when they found out the person had died, unresolved issues with the person who died and how they would like them to be resolved now, where they believe their loved one is now, and how the future will be without the person they love. It allows the teen to see that they are not alone in their grief, that others have the same thoughts as they do. I highly reccommend this book to ANYONE who is experiencing loss in their life. It leads you gently through the entire grieving process-I can't say enough about how it helped us through a very difficult time in our lives.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for all Grieving Children, May 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fire in My Heart, Ice in My Veins: A Journal for Teenagers Experiencing a Loss (Paperback)

I have given this book to a number of grieving teenagers who have found this book very helpful. I have also had requests for this book from others who have seen it. I usually order it by the dozen.

Children are often the forgotten grievers. This book gives them a place to express what they are feeling as well as it may answer some of their questions. It lets them progress through the grieving process without using a whole lot of words. Journaling is very helpful in grief work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creative approach to dealing with grief, March 5, 2003

This review is from: Fire in My Heart, Ice in My Veins: A Journal for Teenagers Experiencing a Loss (Paperback)

I work in an Alternative HS and have found that my students who most would think the book looks "corney" have requested copies of the book after looking through it. I like the fact that it addresses issues of anger that the adolescent may have (or may not even realize they have) towards the deceased. I work with high-risk youth and the family dynamics are always so complex. I also like the fact that it addresses changes that the adolescent will have to make and doesn't "sugar coat" things. But, it pays respect to the deceased in a tasteful way, and it is way for the adolescent to write memories/stories he/she might forget.

My only complaint is that the book is pink. My guys who have been the ones who really have gotten a lot of use from this book (especially dealing with the death of a parent) are turned off at first from even looking at it.
