Helping Children Cope with the Death of a Parent : A Guide for the First Year (Contemporary Psychology)

Rating:
Summary: An affirming book for a most difficult time
Review: This book -- long overdue -- is one that every adult should read -- or at least know how to get their hands on in an emergency.

We never know when we'll be in a position to help a child cope with the death of a parent -- as well-meaning as we might be, we may feel ill-equipped when it comes to responding sensitively and practically during a devastating crisis. This book supports adults (surviving parents, extended family, teachers, counselors, clergy, coaches, etc.) who are looking for useful and positive guidance.

Even adults who are reflecting on their own childhood loss of a parent will find comfort and insights from this book.
