| Publisher Description: An Emotion Called Grief is heartfelt and thoughtfully written to help children understand and cope with the difficult emotion we call grief, by this first time author during her own journey through grief. One of the less talked about of all our emotions, grief can often feel confusing and lonely for both children and adults as they try to process the loss of someone they love, whether it be a family member, friend or even their pet. From the perspective of a young boy as he navigates the loss of his grandfather, An Emotion Called Grief allows him to understand how grief feels, and while grief may never completely go away, it will ease. He learns that our loved ones are always with us and that he will be able to find joy again through the love and memories he has.Adorably illustrated, children will be able to connect and relate to the character while helping them to navigate the difficult emotions that come with grief.From the author "After the sudden death of my dad I was thrown into this unimaginable journey called grief. I learned quickly that grief is so very rarely talked about that until I experienced it myself, I had no idea how anyone around me had ever gotten through it successfully. While processing my own grief, I had the challenge of trying to help my children through theirs. With a lot of patience and compassion for one another we slowly moved forward. While sitting in the dark one night consumed by all my emotions, I began to write my feelings into my little cell phone. I poured every emotion that I had felt over the last month into that little screen. After I was finished, I looked up into the dark and in the distance I saw the words "HELLO" in digital letters on the DVD player. Over eight years, I had never noticed that word displayed on that screen before. It was then I knew my dad was helping me write my story. From that, An Emotion Called Grief was created. I truly hope this book can help even one person as much as it has helped me. I thank you from the bottom of my heart." |
