A Little Grieving: A Practical Guide to Helping Children Navigate Loss

How do you talk to a child about something as profound as the death of a loved one when they don't yet grasp what that really means? In A Little Grieving, former pastor and police officer R. Justin Freeman teams up with pediatric crisis counselor Samantha Renner to provide a compassionate, step-by-step guide for addressing one of life’s most difficult seasons with preschool to early school-age children.

Blending the authors' field-tested professional expertise with heartfelt personal anecdotes, A Little Grieving offers parents and other caregivers the tools they need to help children process grief in a healthy and meaningful way. Concise and pragmatic, this book rejects the notion that children should be shielded from death, advocating instead for age-appropriate, honest conversations that foster resilience and emotional intelligence and help cement your child's sense of belonging within your family.

Inside, you'll discover:

• Practical strategies for discussing death in everyday life and during times of loss, including conversation starters and phrases you should - and shouldn't - use with children.
• Real-life anecdotes that illuminate how children experience and cope with grief.
• Insights and tips from Samantha Renner, a seasoned, board-certified counselor specializing in childhood trauma.
• Concrete guidance for navigating hard phases of the process, from difficult questions to planning funeral attendance and more.

Whether you're grappling with the recent loss of a loved one or simply preparing for the inevitable questions children will ask in the future, A Little Grieving will equip you with the tools and skills you need to approach this delicate topic with confidence.
