Overview

Tamar Granot provides practical and sensitive advice on how best to support children who have experienced bereavement or other kinds of loss. She explores the effects of different kinds of loss, including the suicide of a family member, the death of a sibling, parental abandonment and the loss of a parent through divorce or addiction. She explains how loss is experienced by children and adolescents of different ages, and looks at how the circumstances of loss and the behaviour of other family members can affect a child's reaction to it. Describing the consequences it can have for children's development Granot also discusses how adults who have suffered unresolved loss in the past themselves can understand the impact of their own experiences on their parenting and professional lives.
