'''Many adults find it hard to talk to children about death. Too often the myth continues that ''the kids are okay'' and so they are not helped with the pain of bereavement. This workbook gives them an opportunity to air their concerns, and fears....[It is] an invaluable aid to anyone caring for a child.' - www.familyonwards.com 'This is a highly recommendable book as it covers all aspects and ''stages'' of bereavement and concludes with sections on reminiscing and moving on.' - European Journal of Psychotherapy, Counselling & Health 'Designed to be used as a basis for opening discussions, the book...can be read by both child and adult simultaneously - each page is illustrated with pictures that hold the young person's interest and trigger ideas.' - Young People Now''
