Helping Children Grieve

A direct, yet sensitive guide for helping in the recovery and healing of children, from the very youngest of age up to teenagers and beyond.

Most children experience a certain level of order and happiness in their lives. Suddenly, when a child experiences profound loss or an unexpected death, their world is no longer normal , and that stability is replaced with grief, confusion, and anxiety.

In Helping Children Grieve, Ruth P. Arent extends a bold yet gentle hand to hold during this most painful of life’s experiences. Her practical and insightful exercises and stories - accompanied with her optimism and empathy - will help parents and caregivers nurture and assist the bereaved child.

With the right amount of patience and perspective, this book will help return the child to a renewed level of trust, spontaneity and hope for a future of wellness.
