Talking with Children and Young People about Death and Dying
Talking with Children and Young People about Death and Dying is a workbook specifically designed for adults who are helping children who have suffered bereavement. Used as a basis for opening discussions the text is an effective medium for helping children and young people to communicate and understand the often painful and confusing thoughts and emotions that are provoked by the death of someone close to them. Presented in a format that can be read by both child and adult simultaneously, every page is illustrated with pictures that both hold the child's interest and trigger ideas. Beginning with an exploration of the concepts of death and dying this workbook covers all aspects and stages of bereavement from the initial pain of separation to the anger, fear and dreams that the child may experience, concluding with sections on remembering and going on.
