Critics Review

When a Child Dies begins with certified grief counselor Claire Aagaard’s personal story of losing her son to a tragic accident. The author skillfully explores the various ways a child’s death impacts all aspects of one’s life including relationships, anger at God, and how friends and family can help. Claire’s words are inspiring and hopeful, offering compassionate advice to grieving parents.” – Pamela D. Blair, Ph.D., psychotherapist and co-author of I Wasn’t Ready to Say Goodbye“This book is a lovely blend of the author’s personal journey with the death of her son and supportive information that can help parents see light amidst the dark.” – Alan D. Wolfelt, Ph.D., CT, author, educator, and grief counselor“What I find so helpful about When A Child Dies is that Claire not only shares her son and her family with us on a deep emotional level, but she also answers multiple questions we all have in a caring yet practical way. Her book brings comfort where there seems to be no comfort, and hope where there seems to be no hope. She has opened her heart to share her grace, learning, and wisdom as well as her pain. I am grateful to have read this.” – Jan Warner, author of Grief Day by Day: Simple Practices and Daily Practices for Living With Loss
