"Once in a generation, a book comes along that alters the way society views a topic. When Children Grieve is an essential primer for parents and others who interact with children on a regular basis." -- Bernard McGrane, Ph.D., Professor of Sociology, Chapman University and U.C. Irvine The first--and definitive--guide to helping children really deal with loss from the authors of the The Grief Recovery Handbook Following deaths, divorces, pet loss, or the confusion of major relocation, many adults--in an effort to provide emotional support for kids--tell their children "don't feel bad." In fact, say the authors of the bestselling The Grief Recovery Handbook, feeling bad or sad is precisely the appropriate emotion attached to sad events. Encouraging a child to bypass grief without completion can cause unseen long-term damage. When Children Grieve, an essential parenting guide for grief, helps parents break through the misinformation that surrounds the topic of grief. It pinpoints the six major myths that hamper children in adapting to life's inevitable losses. Practical and compassionate, it guides parents in creating emotional safety and spells out specific actions to help children move forward successfully. This landmark book provides the concrete actions and compassionate guidance every adult needs to help a child navigate the pain of loss.
