About the Book

Foreword by William Yule

This fully updated second edition of Grief in Children explains school-aged children’s understanding of death and gives a detailed outline of exactly how the adults around them can best help them cope.

Whether a child experiences the death of a parent, sibling, other relation or friend, or of a classmate or teacher, it is important for those caring for bereaved children to know how to respond appropriately to the child’s needs. This book deals with a range of common physical and psychological responses and describes the methods of approaching grief in children that have been shown to work best. The author provides guidance on how loss and bereavement should be handled at school, explains when it is appropriate to involve expert professional help, and discusses the value of bereavement groups for children and support for caregivers.
Illustrated with case studies and incorporating current research, this book is essential reading for parents, caretakers, counsellors, teachers, and all those concerned with the welfare of bereaved children.
