A book to use for shared discussion with bereaved children. Sponsored by The Child Bereavement Trust, the book explains long illness resulting in death, as well as the shock of sudden death, how feelings of guilt, anger, sadness and loneliness, fear of the death of others close - or even the child himself - can affect bereaved children. Funerals are explained, as well as the importance of talking to trusted friends and family. Copping strategies are given, and the importance of shared memories emphasised. Colour photos and excellent production values.
