In this book, the author gives an
understanding and inspiring education on
the real meaning of grief. He shows how
it brings us closer to our greatest
sense of self by breaking and
re-creating us. By using his broad
pastoral background with helping

Gewirtz shows us the different ways we
block our experience of loss and sorrow,

more fulfilling life. He teaches a

After the author lost her husband, it
became very clear that each of her three
children would grieve the loss in a
completely different ways. One
became angry, another was experiencing
denial, and the third was consumed with
fear. She immediately determined
that each child would need a particular
response, not only from her, but the
other adults in their lives. Even
though there were a variety of emotions
and reactions, she came up with four
basics that each child would need, which
included routine, love, honesty, and
security. Using these four
concepts are absolutely necessary for
parents who want to successfully guide
their children through the loss of a
loved one. What Children Need When
They Grieve explores the scope of a
child's reactions to death, including
grief and fear, advice on how to talk
with your child, how to recognize their
need for privacy, and what other adults
can do to help.

Watching a child grieve, and not know
what to do is a profoundly difficult
experience for parents, teachers, and
caregivers. Yet, there are
guidelines for helping children develop
a lifelong, healthy response to loss.
In
When Children Grieve
the authors offer a cutting-edge volume
to free children from the false idea of
"not feeling bad" and to empower them
with positive, effective methods of
dealing with loss. Many of life's
experiences can produce feelings of
grief in a child, from the death of a
relative or a divorce in the family to
more everyday experiences such as moving
to a new neighborhood or losing a prized
possession. What ever the reason
or degree of severity, if a child you
love is grieving, the guidelines
examined in this thoughtful book can
make a difference.
