This workbook is specifically designed for adults who are helping children who have suffered bereavement. 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 facilitate communication. 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; and concludes with sections on remembering and moving on.

When people and animals die
they stop
breathing and they stop thinking.

Their hearts stop beating and they
do not feel anything.

When things die, the special part we call 'life',
or 'soul', leaves the body.

It does not ever come back to the body.

Not ever.

The body is very quiet and peaceful and still.

For ever.
