Publisher's Synopsis
July is: INTERNATIONAL BEREAVED PARENTS [awareness] MONTH! Approximately 73,000 children under the age of 18 die each year in the US which makes hundreds of thousands of heartbroken parents. Grieving children are often misunderstood and ignored in the aftermath of death. They need answers, but sometimes don't know how to ask the questions. Children need the truth in as much details as their age and comprehension can bear. They need reassurance about their own security. Just as adults benefit from writing through grief, same goes for children. Children too young to articulate their feelings into words may benefit from drawing and coloring.Life after losing a child looks different for everyone however there's one healing method that has proven to have profound effects; A grief journal. A grief journal records the experience of grief, which has therapeutic qualities. The journal provides a venue for expression without fear of judgment, which also helps reconstruct the personal self narrative, which is critical in the healing process. Some people say that writing through their grief was the only way they were able to cope after their child had died. Writing daily for approx. 15-20min. is all it takes to begin the healing process. Whether you or someone you know has recently lost a child, or it was a while ago- the benefits of writing through the grief remain the same.
