View the Youtube clip

Khris Ford and Paula D’Arcy have created an insightful and valuable program to provide guidance for adults trying to help children of all ages through the grieving process. The film’s seven segments cover topics such as: addressing a child’s fear of feeling responsible or guilty regarding the death; the correlation between age and the physical expressions of grief; and the important role parents, teachers, coaches, and friends play in the healing process. Tools to facilitate a successful grieving process are presented. In interviews, parents and children speak candidly about their loss and what they have learned. Built on the firm foundation that “with the help of adults in their lives, the journey through grief for a child can be a healing experience.

"a wonderful layman’s approach to a difficult subject, making this not only a great addition for public libraries, but also an excellent resource for school guidance counselors or psychologists and for libraries with professional or parent collections.” ~ School Library Journal, November 2010
