Picking up the pieces

MISSING: CHECKED OUT Helping children cope with grief: A teacher's guide

Plot

Every day many children lose someone close to them -- a parent or grandparent, brother or sister. Nothing can take away the pain of loss, but there is a great deal that a caring adult can do to avoid the long-term distress which can be caused by hidden fears and anxieties. There is advice on the problems particular to terminal illness or sudden death, and on misunderstandings which can arise from a well-meant remark. Rosemary Wells uses her insight and experience to offer practical help and advice.
