This is a wonderful book which offers comfort for children and adults. We had personal experience with this book as my father passed away recently. I gave my seven year old great niece a copy to help her to understand his death; and at my father's funeral, I asked the pastor to read the last few pages to share with all who came. After reading, the pastor asked me where I had found this book as he wanted to add it to his library also. Although we don't want to ever need this kind of book; when we do need it, it is very comforting.

This is a beautifully written book that will help anyone deal with the feelings and experiences of losing someone you love. It validates the pain and gently leads the reader to begin to find life in the loss.

This is a wonderful book for children......and adults too. I have given this book as a gift when people are trying to understand their feelings as well as their behaviors. Well written and illustrated.

When Someone Dies is a way to share a gift of love with someone who has suffered loss. The words cradle and nurture the grieving spirit.

This book comes from the heart; grieving adults as well as children are warmed by the message. My bookstore says it's the one book they keep on the shelf because someone is always looking for IT or something like it. A must if you wish to share from your heart but don't know how to say it.

Although this was written as a children's book, I have found it profoundy appropriate for everyone. It is written with a real sense of the grieving process and is very gentle and supportive. The illustrations are beautiful and soothing. Altogether this is a real winner. I give it to all my close friends when they have lost a loved one.

Can I rate this a 6 stars?! What a terrific book. So simply and beautifully written. Sensitive and yet candid. Written for children but appealing to adults. I found it's simplicity was just the right thing for myself to read when mourning. I bought a copy for everyone in my family. It's a must have book!

A beautifully written book to help people of all ages move through the many difficult stages of grief. No one wants to ever need a book like this, but when we do, this book is invaluable.
