What They're Saying

Critics Review

I am impressed with the way in which this work involves children so concretely and personally in the grief process. I believe it has great potential for being helpful to many children who are stunned by the agony of loss. –Lowell O. Erdahl, Bishop Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
I especially appreciated in the design of this book, the effort to enable a child to convert what has been a profound, passively experienced situation into one in which the child becomes an active participant in pictorially and verbally doing something about it. –Dean J. Hempel, M.D. Child Psychiatrist, Wilder Child Guidance Center
I have been searching for just such a book to use with grieving children! The concepts are honest and truthful. –Ruth D. Meitz, Student Support Teacher, Bloomington Public Schools
People have neglected children’s grief for years, and here we get not only a description of the process, but a potent book for helping children work through their grief. –Christine Ternand, M.D., Pediatrician
We have found this to be a practical workbook that guides children through a confusing time. Children learn from this book that grief is a natural reaction to loss. –Monty Williams, A.C.S.W., Social Worker, Minneapolis Children’s Health Center
When Someone Very Special Dies is a superbly useful tool to help young people work through their grief…highly recommended…a real contribution. –Rabbi Dr. Earl A. Grollman, Author of Talking About Death: A Dialogue Between Parent and Child
