Outstanding!
This book is an excellent resource for parents, caregivers, and children dealing with the complex facets of grief. The author speaks from her heart, and obviously understands these issues at a personal level. Her techniques in speaking to children, and the child in each of us, through the use of photos, children's artwork, and creative writing is a wonderful way for the observer/reader to focus on what these pictures mean to the individual. This in turn can lead to an inner dialogue and a unique individual healing process.

This book really helped me
This book was extremely helpful to me in dealing with a personal complicated grief event. I think it would be a critical resource for teachers and counselors. As our world continues to stuggle with these issues that touch all our lives in some way, it is a resource useful for us all.
