Based on the Hospice Foundation of America's second annual
teleconference, this book explores three basic themes in children's
grief. Firstly, it maintains that children are always developing;
therefore their understanding of death and their reactions to illness
and loss are also multifaceted and constantly undergoing change.
Secondly, children grieve in ways that are both different from and
similar to adults. While they may need different therapeutic
approaches from their elders, each loss is different and the grief
experience will be affected by many of the same factors that affect
adults. Thirdly, it holds that they need significant support as they
grieve.; Talking to children about loss and and illness is too
important to wait until a crisis; rather, it is essential to provide
opportunities to discuss loss in times that are not so Emotionally
Laden. This Book Aims To Demonstrate That Open Communication between
parents and children will lead to skills and understanding that are
essential to the child for coping with loss and reaffirming that
death is part of the process of living.
