Opis

Honest, caring words and activities--from a Christian perspective--help kids work through their grief.The death of a grandparent is often a child's first encounter with grief. Why did this happen? How do I feel? Drawing on concepts from psychology and a broad perspective on Christian faith, Remembering My Grandparent provides a sensitive and practical resource that will help children ages 7 to 13 cope with the death of a loved one. Kids can write, draw, pray, create, and express feelings via concrete, hands-on activities including:

• Part One: Remembering after the Funeral
• Part Two: Remembering throughout the Whole Year
• Part Three: Remembering during the Holidays
  • Becoming a Memory Detective to uncover clues to their grandparent's own childhood
  • Recording favorite memories, photographs and events
  • Turning Christmas, Easter and other holidays into times of special remembrance
  • Open and gentle, this book will help kids--and their parents with them--understand difficult concepts and communicate deep feelings as they grow through their season of mourning.
