Helping Children Cope with Death
Death is a great unknown for all of us, but especially for children meeting it for the first time. The books on this page are written for adults who want to know how to help children through bereavement. You can find reviews of other books aimed at children on the following pages.
Saying Goodbye
to Greg
by Christine Chapman
(Jessica Kingsley Publishers)
The hardest death to cope with is the loss of a child. It's out of time
and makes no sense. This book looks at how the death of a boy called
Greg impacts on his school and on his family. The characters are
fictitious but the situations and reactions are based on real life. The
result is a sensitive insight into how a school can cope with the
aftermath of a tragic accident and support children and adults through
their grief. As it is a Christian book, it takes a Christian view
of death, but that is not obtrusive so the book is also useful for those
with other beliefs.

Someone
Very Important Has Just Died
by Mary Turner
(Jessica Kingsley Publishers)
Sub-titled "Immediate help for people caring for children of all age
at the time of a close bereavement", this slim volume is such a short,
easy read that it's accessible even to those struggling with their own
grief. The advice it gives is straightforward, simple to follow and reassuring.
This would be a useful book for hospitals, hospices and
undertakers to have available for loan.
