Overview

For the adult. For the child. For the hard part.When a child between the ages of eight and twelve loses someone they love, they need more than comfort... They need honest answers, real language, and a grown-up who knows how to walk beside them through the hardest thing they have ever experienced. Help Your Child Get a Grip on Their Grief! was written for that grown-up - and for the child they are trying to help. Through eight chapters of warm, honest, Grade 4 story text, and with the help of over 60 custom-built images, this book meets grieving children exactly where they are. It names every feeling they are having and tells them all of those feelings are allowed. It explains what grief does to the body. It gives them permission to talk to God honestly. It shows them who their safe people are. And it carries them gently toward the truth that remembering is not being stuck - it is how love continues. At the end of each chapter, a carefully structured Q&A section gives parents and caregivers the exact language they need to answer the questions their child is already asking - including the hardest questions about God, about death, and about whether they will ever see their loved one again. As the ultimate answer to the mystery of death, the Good News is woven into the heart of this book with full theological integrity, presented at a level a grieving child can receive and a parent can build on. This book does not pretend grief is easy. It does not rush toward resolution. It sits with the child in the hard part - and then, when the child is ready, it points them toward hope that is real. Part of the Get a Grip on Your Grief! family by Dr. Godfrey E. McAllister, GodWill Publishers.
