Rebuilding Your Family After the Death of a Loved One
When children lose someone they love, they lsoe part of their very identity. Life, as they knew it, will never be quite the same. The world that once felt dependable and safe may suddenly seem a frightening, uncertain place, where nobody understands what they're feeling.
In this deeply sympathetic book, Phyllis R. Silverman and Madelyn Kelly offer wise guidance on virtually every aspect of a childhood loss, from living with someone who's dying to preparing the funeral; from explaining the death to a two-year-old to managing the moods of a grieving teenager; from dealing with people who don't understand to learning how and where to get help from friends, therapists, and bereavement groups; from developing a new sense of self to continuing a new relationship with ther person who died. Throughout, the authors advocate an open, honest approach, suggesting that our instinctive desire to "protect" chidlren from the reality of death may be more harmful than helpful. "chidlren want you to trust their own ability to make sense out of what they see."
Filled with compassion and common sense, A Parent's Guide to Raising Grieving Children: Rebuilding Your Family After the Death of a Loved One offers readers a wealth of solace and sound advice, and even - where one might least expect it - a measure of hope.
