Why do people die?Where is heaven?Will I die too? What happens to me?Death is never an easy subject for discussion and adults can have difficulty finding the right words when talking about it with children. This book explores children's thoughts and feelings on the subject and provides parents and other caring adults with guidance on how to respond to difficult questions.The author covers some of the common questions that children ask about death and provides sensitive yet candid answers in a way that children will be able to understand and relate to. Each chapter is devoted to a particular issue, such as religious beliefs, coming to terms with terminal illness, and fear of forgetting someone when they are gone. The book recognizes the emotions and reactions of children and family members and includes separate conclusions for parents and children.This handy guide offers useful advice for parents and will also be of interest to counsellors and other professionals working with children.

Industry Reviews

Questions range from the general (e.g., ""What does dead mean"") to the heartbreaking specific (e.g. ""Why do all good people like my mom die young"") The author strongly advocates honesty in order to secure trust in children, who will have future questions throughout their lives at various life stages. This should be on the ready-reference shelf for anyone who works with children; it is brilliant in its honesty, sensitivity, and brevity.
