Description

Thousands of children each and every year experience the death of a loved one before they reach the age of 18, and some 10 to 15 percent of them experience mental health problems, such as depression, in consequence. One study found that childhood grief is correlated with low grades, sleep problems, moodiness, behavior problems, and an inability to pay attention. When a loved one dies, children are faced with a kaleidoscope of feelings, thoughts, myths, and questions. This workbook offers tools that you’ll use to help a grieving child in your life handle these feelings.

The first section of Why Did You Die? is for adults. It describes a child’s grief process and what can also be expected as it progresses. The latter section includes activities you’ll do with a grieving child. The use of an art therapy approach, the activities guide the child through the issues she or he will have to eventually confront. Different activities help the child express difficult feelings, separate myths from facts, and remember the finality of death. This direct yet non-threatening, secular approach will help children learn, grow, and thrive.
