Drawing on concepts from psychology and a broad perspective on Christian faith, provides a sensitive and practical resource that will help children ages 7 to 13 cope with the death of a loved one.

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

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.

·Becoming a Memory Detective to uncover clues to their grandparent's own childhood
·Recording favourite memories, photographs and events
·Turning Christmas, Easter and other holidays into times of special remembrance

Ages 7-13
