As a trained psychologist and former Children's Program Coordinator at a local Hospice, I was very pleased to discover this compassionate and supportive book for children who have experienced the loss of a loved one due to suicide. The issue is sensitively handled, and practical and healthy ways of coping are facilitated. A helpful support for families faced with this loss and an INVALUABLE tool for all professionals who work with children and loss. A great resource for school personnel to have on hand as well!

Must read for infants to early teens

Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my daughter who is almost 12yrs old. It looks like a young child's book, but the words are meant for all! Must read for all child survivors of suicide. The book explains that what happened is not the child's fault. Which many children go through a stage of feeling the suicide was their fault. Children need to know from other sources than the ones who love them that it's not their fault - this book does that
