5.0 out of 5 stars Grandparents can talk about death and grief., March 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Helping Children Grieve (Paperback)

When the topic of death comes into the conversation with children, it is very helpful to have thought about what I want to say beforehand. This book gave me the opportunity to be more prepared to answer my grandchildrens' questions about death in a relaxed and confident manner.

This review is from: Helping Children Grieve (Paperback)

A very sound set of guidelines to refer to when a child has lost a loved one through death. Written at a level that is easy to understand and still covers the topic in adequate depth for any professional. Recommended reading!
