Description: In this book, Barbara Coloroso helps parents navigate family waters when they get turbulent. What do we tell our children when their grandfather or mother or sibling dies? How do we handle a serious illness or disability that affects the whole family? How do we break the news of a divorce? And how do we make room for our children's feelings and needs when we are struggling with our own grief? Barbara Coloroso gives clear answers to difficult questions and illustrates her messages with anecdotes and humour.
