Description
Is your child facing a bereavement? Then this book is for you! Children of all ages are affected by different losses: death of a loved one or a pet, moving, departure of a teacher... Sadness, anger, feelings of helplessness and guilt darken their daily lives. Nothing will ever be the same again. Although their conception of change and death differs according to their development, one constant remains: they must be certain that they are loved no matter how they react. In this guide, you will find answers to many questions: - What are the main losses experienced during childhood? - How do children perceive death? - How to tell them about a major change or a death? - Should young people participate in funeral rites? - How long does mourning last? - When should professional help be sought? Punctuated with anecdotes, stories and techniques for better communication, this book will allow you to support the child who is going through grief, whatever the nature.
