Description:

Many individuals find it uncomfortable and challenging to discuss death and dying, especially when it relates to children. A child’s understanding of death varies based on their age, developmental stage, and personal experiences. This knowledge is crucial for us to respond appropriately and sensitively to their needs and emotions. “The Grief Wave” thoughtfully addresses the experience of loss and grief, including symbolic losses such as divorce, which affects the family unit, friendships, and the loss of bodily functions. The book offers a variety of well-researched techniques to help children develop essential coping skills, preparing them to navigate future experiences of grief. It is authored by Trace Moroney.
