by Erika Leeuwenburgh and Ellen Goldring

This versatile book of 40 drawing and writing activities is designed to help children express difficult feelings, separate myths from facts, and learn to cope successfully with loss. The book can be used as a journal to be filled in over time, or activities can be selected as needed. Each activity includes a topic to think about, a brief story, directions for the activity, and follow-up questions for evaluation.

 The first section, for adults, explains how children grieve and has recommendations for helping at different developmental levels from ages 2–12. It explains what to watch for with complicated and traumatic grief and when to think about professional help.
