When a child has just lost a parent, a
sibling, or other loved one, what can we
say? How can we do the right
things without adding to the child's
sadness, confusion and grief, especially
when we are grieving, too?
In clear, concise language, Dr. William
Kroen offers comfort, compassion, and
sound advice to any adult who is helping
a child cope with death. Combining
his experiences and information from the
well respected Good Grief Program at the
Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston,
Massachusetts, he explains how children
from infancy through age 18 perceive and
react to death. He offers
suggestions on how we can respond to
children at different ages and stages,
and describes specific strategies to use
in order to guide and support them
through the grieving process, from the
first devastating days through
commemorating the loved one and
eventually moving on with life.
This book also includes a list of
recommended organizations and additional
readings.

The author has shown many times over, through decades of work with the dying and their caregivers, that the Buddhist approach to death can be of great help and understanding to people of all backgrounds. Ever since she was inspired by traditional Buddhist teachings, her work has provided a source of knowledge for people who are facing their own death, in charge with a dying person's care, or desiring to explore and study the power of the dying process and its transformative ability and nature. With her direction, we confirm that we can access and connect with the strength inside us, and that we can also help do the same with others who are suffering.

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. 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.
