Editorial Reviews

Review

The Resource Publications' "Helping Children Who Hurt" series as created to assist adults with the difficult and often painful task of helping children understand their feelings about personal tragedies. The title in this important series deals with the all to common tragedy in America today of our high divorce rate, necessitating a guidance manual like Our Family Is Divorcing so that counselors, healthcare professionals, bereavment ministers, teachers, parents, and grandparents will know how to effectively encourage young people to talk about their experience of divorce. Our Family Is Divorcing features a caregiver section offering guidance to adults for helping children through loss, including discussion questions as well as tips for being a caring presence, respecting the child's boundaries, and allowing the child to grieve. Our Family Is Divorcing is exceptionally well written and designed, and will prove of invaluable assistance -- especially for those children suffering through the experience of parental divorce. -- Midwest Book Review
