PRAISE FOR GUIDING YOUR CHILD THROUGH GRIEF
“A monumental contribution to the countless children who can be helped to cope with the loss of a loved one instead of left unassisted because the adults around them lack an awareness of their needs.” —Therese Rando, Ph.D., author of How to Go on Living When Someone You Love Dies
“An excellent resource to help you bring forth what is within your child, your self and your family so that it does not destroy any of you. The tears of unexpressed grief extinguish life’s bright candle. Read on and light the dark tunnel so that others may follow.” —Bernie Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine & Miracles and Prescriptions for Living
“I wish Guiding Your Child Through Grief could be in the hands of every parent with a child or adolescent grieving a death.” — Donna Schuurman, executive director, The Dougy Center for Grieving Children, Portland, Oregon
“Absolutely the right book for the family that needs it.” --Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People
