Activities to Help Children Cope with Grief and Loss

Using an art therapy approach this book gives kids creative avenues to express their feelings and to heal from their loss. It starts with an informative section for parents about how grief in children differs from grief in adults. Then, it’s the children’s turn. The sensitive activities demystify death, show them how to effectively express their feelings of grief, and recover from the loss. Different activities help the child express difficult feelings, separate myths from facts, and understand the finality of death. This book is appropriate for kids between the ages of six and twelve.
