Karen a Longstreth

Through A Childs Eyes Karen a Longstreth

Danny and Patricia were looking forward to summer break. Then they found out that Grandpa Hank was sick and was going to die. Don and Emma were so worried, how were they going to explain death, organ donation, cremation, burial and cemeteries to their children. In Through The Eyes of a Child you will learn: -How to use age appropriate language to explain these things to children -Find a helpful question section with some informative answers to help grieving young children -Find work pages with plenty of space for children to answer questions and create drawings to remind them of what their loved one looked like, what they liked and how the child is feeling. As much as possible, allow your child to do their own writing and drawing in this section so it is truly theirs. While what they write or draw may make no sense to you, it will to them. If your child is quite young, you may want to do the writing, making sure you are writing verbatim what they are saying, as lengthy as it may be. This will allow the child to be an active participant in their grief journey
