Aimed at children of preschool through grade school age, this illustrated book uses allegory and analogy to introduce the concept of death and dying as the beginning of a new spiritual dimension. The entertaining and thought-provoking story will be valuable for all young people -- since all children must deal with the loss of loved ones and the emotions that accompany that loss.
In My Guardian Angel In My Mourning Dr. Regina Shay skillfully creates a children's story that touches on the overwhelming concepts of death and grieving. Aimed at children of pre-school through grade school ages, the message is presented through allegory and analogy.
A story such as this will be valuable for every young person at some point in childhood. It is entertaining, instructive and thought-provoking.
I found the book My Guardian Angel In My Mourning to be a valuable treatment of a difficult subject for young readers. The list of books dealing with death and dying is a short one, and this book will be a welcome addition.

This story is beautifully written and the concept of death is subtly introduced as the beginning of a new spiritual dimension. Most children cannot deal with the anger and denial of the loss of a beloved one and My Guardian Angel In My Mourning inspires peace, faith and reassurance, amidst the turmoil of the mourning process.
