This was a really well-done book that shared insightful, practical information for guiding your child through grief, not only now, but in the years to come. I suspected, and this book confirmed, that as my kids grow older, mature and understand more, they'll enter new levels of grief and have new questions. Guiding our children through grief will be a lifelong process and will affect their entire lives, and I appreciate reading advice about what to expect, how to better support them and try to be the best parent I can for them.

This was an excellent book! I honestly think that even if you don't have grieving children, this is a great reference for if you ever do. I think everyone should read this book! Really informative and great examples and everything!
