Overview

Simple books for complicated topics. Bowie's uncle has died. Join Bowie as she navigates her emotions, goes to the funeral, remembers her uncle, and returns to routines. Overview: Having someone you love die is extremely difficult. Everyone faces their own unique emotions, circumstances, situations, and struggles when this happens. The situation is even more complicated when there are children involved. You are not only navigating your own emotions, but also theirs. You may be wondering, ""How do I explain death?"",""Do I bring them to the funeral?"",""What if they have questions I can't answer?"" These are all appropriate thoughts, and this book is meant to be a support to either begin, guide, or continue conversations. Sometimes it is difficult to have the conversation with children, or talk about their emotions, as well as your own. This book is meant to be a support, while also including a page of ideas for your child to remember their person who has died.
