Death

by Marlena

(January 2007) (rank 13th)

Here are just some things to remeber when some one dies who is close to your child.

Children Have the right to say good bye.
The truth is a hard thing for them to deal with.
Be honest and open with them.
Children are resilient.
I did some looking around and here are some books that could help you out if you are in this situation.

The Accident by Carol Carrick

When Grandpa died by Margaret Stevens

The Happy Funeral by Eve Bunting

The memory box by Mary Bahr

Nonna by Jennifer Bartoli

Badger's Parting Gifts by Susan Varley

Well done.

Most adults have trouble dealing with and talking about death, let alone being equiped to help their kids deal with it. You have summarised well exactly what we need to know in order to help our children. Well done.

The memory Box

Not only is the book good but the idea is

My younger kids made one after their father passed away.

We also let a balloon each go with a message to Nigel in each one. It is a wonderful way to say good bye and to say all the things you didn't get the chance to...

Thanks for posting this....
