Life and Loss: A Guide to Help Grieving Children 2nd Edition

by Linda Goldman (Author)

See all formats and editions
With this resource, the reader learns to recognize and understand different types of childhood losses while avoiding the stifling cliches that block feeling. The reader will also become aware of the myths that hinder the grief process, learn the four psychological tasks of grief, and help a child say good-bye to a dying loved one. Finally, the author explains the techniques of grief work, providing useful tools, ideas, and inventories for educators to discover ways for kids to commemorate loss (funerals, memorials, memory books).

The second edition of Life and Loss creates a framework for work with childhood grief in the new millenium. A vast amount of resources have been added and updated, some especially for educators and for those who work with children and dying. Also included are web sites, cd-roms, and grief camps. Additional grief resolution techniques have also been added, demonstrating children's written work and artwork as well. The inclusion of two timely childhood losses - the loss of the protection of the adult world and the loss of a future - sets the stage for griefwork for today's and tomorrow's children.

This book gave me all I was looking for. We have lots of trauma in South Africa with crime and hold ups of families in their homes, parents are killed. This is a great help in dealing with these children

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Have resource
Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014
Linda Goldman's 3rd edition of Life and Loss is an excellent resource for grief counsellors and therapists. The book covers key theoretical material including myths of grief and psychological tasks of grief work. There are a wide-variety of creative therapeutic techniques, as well as information for educators. This is a must-have resource for counsellors and therapists working with grieving children. Other resources I recommend of this topic include:

Bart Speaks Out: Breaking the Silence on Suicide

Great Answers to Difficult Questions About Death

The updated edition of Life and Loss is wonderful. the new chapter on the community grief team, the expanded techiques for therapists and educators, the addition of grief camps and websites for children, and the updated abundance of resources for children have increased its usefullness and deepened my understanding of working with children and grief. Thank you, Linda Goldman, for a job well done.
