In this revealing documentary, children, teens, and young adults speak openly and eloquently about the death of a parent. They discuss how they found out about their parent’s death, not having the opportunity to say goodbye, the value of ritual in healing, thoughts on spirituality, going back to school, grieving as a family, surviving holidays, grieving over time, and much more.

This very real and honest presentation grew out of grief loss group work and is an excellent introduction to the value of that process. Additional insights about children and bereavement are provided by clergy, counselors, and surviving parents. For ages ten and older.

DVD, 47 minutes.
