This review is from: Why Did Daddy Die?: Helping Children Cope with the Loss of a Parent (Paperback)

My mother wrote this book when she was looking for things to help her cope with the death of her husband and teach her children about grief and death. There was and is surprisingly little available. She is raw and vulnerable while being informative about the stages of grief and the reality of the process. She includes stories which make it real and help us to know that we are not alone in our pain. This is a valuable source for anyone who has had a death in their family.
