"This is a book written for you and your children," explains author and Grief Recovery specialist, Joey O'Connor. "It initiates a conversation on a difficult subject most people prefer to avoid. It is about people like you and me struggling to figure out what they really believe when the unbelievable has happened. And then wondering, 'What in the world am I going to say to my kids? How am I going to explain what just happened in our family and what I believe about the God who saw this whole thing happen?'"

Raised in a Southern Californian family who has been in the funeral business for over 125 years, Joey brings a compassionate and intimate knowledge of the complex issues surrounding grief and loss.

In 
Children and Grief, Joey teaches you how to:

    • understand the unique differences in talking about death, grief, and faith
    • explain the physical reality of death and terminal illness
    • answer your children's questions in specific, age-appropriate ways
    • avoid speaking in confusing religious euphemisms like "God needed another angel..."
    • help your child grieve by supporting his or her unique personality
    • helping children deal with fear, anger, sadness, guilt, and confusion
    • address difficult topics like war, school shootings, terrorism, and suicide
    • provide a sense of security amid disorienting events such as funerals
    • assist grieving teenagers and understand adolescent warning signs
    • create meaningful grief memories and rituals to remember loved ones
    • how to begin a life-long conversation, ranging from small children to teenagers

    Children and Grief offers parents a way to approach tough questions with honesty, tenderness, and hope. O'Connor shows how to teach children to trust God, celebrate life, and have hope in the face of death.
