Helping a child understand death isn't about having all the answers, it's about making sure they don't feel alone in the dark.

Grief is a big emotion, especially for children. Whether it's the quiet absence of a goldfish, the empty bed of a beloved family pet, or the heavy loss of a cherished family member, children often struggle to find the words to explain how they feel.

Maria Sare walks hand-in-hand with young readers through the different ‘levels' of loss. Sare helps children navigate the journey from losing a pet to the more complex experience of losing a family member.
