What parents are saying

"My husband died from lung cancer at the age of thirty-seven. We have two daughters, ages eight and ten. When their grandfather died, I felt the discussions of death were a little easier, but with my husband's death, I just don't know what to do, and on top of that, I'm hurting a lot too and don't want to make it worse for them. I started seeing a grief therapist who recommended this activity book for my girls. I never expected how helpful it would be for me too. We work on it in small doses together as a family and talk through our feelings as we try to find a new normal. We especially loved the suggestion of sharing a chocolate 'kiss' with him.".

"My son was very close to my mother, who passed away last year. Since she died, he's having trouble sleeping alone. I found this book while searching online and it's been a wonderful bonding and healing experience for both of us. I can't tell you how grateful I am."

"Thank you for this activity book. I work with young children who have experienced the death of a loved one, and it's been such a wonderful tool for our program. Many of our parents want to know where to order it."
