Product Description

Book Description
"Why do people have to die?", "Is death like sleeping?", "How can I stop feeling so sad?". Children ask these questions and others when they are coming to terms with the death of a friend or a member of their family. How best can you help your child when they ask questions about death and dying, as they inevitably will? Plain, easy-to-understand answers are the best way to deal with the real and natural fears children have in that situation. This book asks the questions that children ask, and answers them in a succinct format. Simple illustrations and straightforward text are designed to help children through difficult times.

From the Author
The death of a friend or family member affects children just as much as adults; they grieve too but often do not even have the benefit of understanding what happens when someone dies. Adults may find it difficult to talk about death and dying because of their own fears. However it is important for a child to feel that there are adults who are willing to listen to whatever they want to talk about and to answer their questions. Many other books adress the topic of childhood bereavement by using stories about animals, or by using case studies. Many children, however, have a thirst for knowledge even at very difficult times, and they need straight answers. This book is not faith-specific but does recognise that individual beliefs are relevant. This book was written as a result of direct experience of answering childrens'questions after bereavement.

This book is set out in a way to help families talk when they have lost a loved one in a manner that young children can understand. How much should you tell them when they ask questions, just what do you say ? This book will help the whole family through one of lifes most difficult times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncompliacted, sinple, effective and not too long, 1 Nov 2004
By Simon J Owen (leamington spa, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book is simple and effective and written so children can easily read it. My 7 yr old daughter read it from cover to cover and as a family we were able to open out and dicuss the topic of death, a unknown area for children, in a simple structured way using the book as a reference source.
A well put together book by authors that understand the issues that need to be faced.
