When a family loses a loved one, it's one thing for adults to deal with death; but it's a different story for children. A Bedtime Story for Jeffrey, How to Explain Death to a Child, is a book that can gently help grieving children to deal with the loss of a loved one. It could be a teacher, a young friend, a grandparent, even a mother or father or sibling. A Bedtime Story for Jeffrey brings to mind the positive and wonderful aspects of death and the love and warm welcome awaiting us when we die...that life goes on...that death is not the end of our existence...that we will see our loved one again. From the author, Carol Witbeck: This story was written for children who have lost someone they love through death. I realize that death is not a popular topic and is not written about very often because of that very reason. Who really wants to discuss death? But we've all known someone who has died and know that death will not go away. However, this is not a depressing story. It is, instead, a charming story of a mother comforting her son with answers to the innocent questions of a child who has lost his father. The story is simple and direct and written in a loving, tender way. I hope it will bring peace to you as you share it with someone you love.
