Product Description

Product Description

When a family member or close friend dies, it can be difficult to know how best to help the children and teenagers involved. Someone Very Important Has Just Died is a practical book written for those caring for children and teenagers suffering a close bereavement. Intended for use immediately or soon after the death has occurred, this book gives practical and detailed guidance on what adults might say and do to help children. This much-needed resource tackles the sensitive issues of what to tell children, how far to include them in the events immediately after the death, and how to tend to their physical and emotional needs. The material is suitable for anyone regardless of their background and beliefs, and is supplemented with information on where to go to obtain longer term bereavement support. Someone Very Important Has Just Died is an ideal resource for professionals in all areas of work relating to bereavement. It is designed to be given to adults with children in their care at the time of a death.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very helpful book, 23 Nov 2004
By Book Freak (United States) - See all my reviews
Mary Turner has written a very helpful small book. It covers the normal reaction of adults to the death someone close, how children and teenagers might react, how to get support, how to talk to children about death and funerals and what words you could use. There is sensible advice about matters to consider regarding the funeral, and how to look after yourself and loved ones, and how to ease stress. She also covers the feelings when emerging from grief. There is a list of helpful organizations included. Ms. Turner's extensive experience with people, and especially young people and children, coping with bereavement gives her just the right words to use in what is a very difficult situation. It is a small book - nothing too big or overwhelming, just the right size to read over a cup of tea, but it does manage to cover a very great deal of helpful areas. Thank you, Ms. Turner.
