Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate resource for friends, parents, relatives, teachers, volunteers, and caregivers, this series offers suggestions to help the grieving cope with the loss of a loved one. Often people do not know what to say—or what not to say—to someone they know who is mourning; this series teaches that the most important thing a person can do is listen, have compassion, be there for support, and do something helpful. This volume addresses what to expect from grieving young people, and how to provide safe outlets for children to express emotion. Included in each book are tested, sensitive ideas for “carpe diem” actions that people can take right this minute—while still remaining supportive and honoring the mourner’s loss.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GRIEF-has no rules and in many ways, it will last as long as love does. ForeverJULY IS BEREAVED PARENTS [awareness] MONTH.Approximately 73,000 children under the age of 18 die each year in the US which makes hundreds of thousands of grieving parents. However, in volume 8 of this collection, we are going to be honoring the grandparents who have experienced the loss of a grandchild. Grandparents, "the forgotten grievers" coined the term because although they are doubly grieved by the ache for their grandchild and pain of their own child are often overlooked along with the support needed. Usually, this exclusion is not intentional-grandparents are simply overlooked in all the turmoil. Please be mindful of grieving grandparents and offer support wherever you can. So what is a grief journal? A grief journal records the experience of grief, which has therapeutic qualities. The journal provides a venue for expression without fear of judgment, which also helps reconstruct the personal self narrative, which is critical in the healing process. Some people say that writing through their grief was the only way they were able to cope after their child had died. Writing daily for approx. 15-20min. is all it takes to begin the healing process.Whether you or someone you know has recently lost a child, or it was a while ago- the benefits of writing through the grief remain the same. This grief journal is part of a series titled: July is Bereaved Parents Month and is dedicated in loving memory to, Claire Alyse. There is never a footprint too small to leave an imprint on this world and at 5yrs young, Claire's were no exception.Journal Details: 6x9- compact size fits in most bags and ideal for on-the-go 110 pages- lined Printing- Using the most up-to-date/current techniques, the cover is printed with a matte finish and the paper is superior quality with bleed resistant technology Cover Design- Created by the design team at BOLDconcepts.

Don't forget the teens and kids!

Please join us in raising awareness of the support necessary for parents and their families who have experienced the death of a child. Family/friend support can make a big difference.

Book excerpt: First published in 1996. One spring morning a gardener noticed an unfamiliar seedling poking through the ground near the rocky, untidy edge of his garden ... So begins the parable that sets the tone for this inspiring, heartfelt new book for caregivers to bereaved children. By comparing grief counseling to gardening, Dr. Wolfelt frees caregivers of the traditional medical model of bereavement care, which implies that grief is an illness that must be cured. He suggests that caregivers instead embrace a more holistic view of the normal, natural and necessary process that is grief. He then explores the ways in which bereaved children can not only heal but grow through grief. Healing the Bereaved Child also contains chapter after chapter of practical caregiving guidelines: • How a grieving child thinks, feels and mourns: What makes each child's grief unique; How the bereaved child heals: the six needs of mourning; Foundations of counseling bereaved children; Counseling techniques (play, art, writing, nature and many others; more than ,15 pages!); A family systems approach to counseling; Support groups for bereaved kids, including a 10 session model; Helping grieving children at school, including a crisis response team model; Helping the grieving adolescent; Self-care for the child’s bereavement caregiver. A must-read for child counselors, hospice caregivers, funeral direc­tors, school counselors and teach­ers, clergy, parents-anyone who wants to offer support and com­panionship to children affected by the death of someone loved.
