This review is from: How It Feels When a Parent Dies (Paperback)
As a long-time child therapist I have used many books and other methods to help children cope with this most painful of losses. This book heals young people with its reality, with the variety of experiences and feelings presented, with its loving approach to the feelings they have felt but feared no one else had ever felt. This book is invaluable.

A variety of feelings for a variety of children,

This review is from: How It Feels When a Parent Dies (Paperback)
I am a high school counselor. I bought this book to have in my office for my students to have access to. The short writings hold a range of reactions to the death of a parent. The authors come from different backgrounds, situations and circumstances, yet they hold one thing in common: losing a parent. Honest writing. Great for adolescents and adults.

This review is from: How It Feels When a Parent Dies (Paperback)
I wish that I had this book available when I lost my father at 15. I recently lost my mom and reading this book, even as an adult, helped me grasp and get a hold of my emotions of pain and loss. There is nothing more honest than looking at grief from the eyes of children. I would recommend to have this book handy if you have living parents or if you are a parent as we all have to deal with death at some point in our lives.
