Numerous exercises and games are included that will encourage children to express their complicated feelings about the death of a loved one. Handouts for parents and teachers as well as guidelines for practitioners serve as important resources to assist adults in their efforts to help bereaved children. --Nancy Boyd Webb, DSW, BCD, RPT-SI LOVE this book.
