Excellent book

This is the book I heartily recommend to clients and to workshop participants who need to know about helping children around issues of death and grief. Joy Johnson has put together a practical and extremely helpful book that reads easily from cover to cover or can be used as a reference. She addresses the most frequently asked questions and also makes sure to address the more difficult issues....anger, AIDS, suicide, murder, drunk drivers, and others. It's also one of the best bargains you will ever see in a book. 180+ pages for $7!Packed with the information you need to deal lovingly with a grieving child. Explains death and grief from the various perspectives from infants to teens and offers you the information you need to respond compassionately

Easy to read format with concise information

Whether you have recently experienced the death of someone close or want to prepare children around you, Joy's book provides information in a non-threatening, conversational format. Reading the stories of real children and the questions they ask, helps to make death a part of living.

What a great book!

This is an extremely readable, concise, enjoyable book about a very difficult subject. We give it to our families in our hospital.

Wonderful stories and examples help adults help children.

I reviewed this book for Bereavement Magazine and was touched and delighted by the many stories and very human examples. I'm giving it as gifts to friends who work with grieving children.
