“SAD ISN’T BAD” offers children of all ages (and the people who love and care for them) a comforting, realistic look at loss—loaded with positive, life-affirming helps for coping with loss as a child. It’s a book that promotes honest and healthy grief—and growth.”
“A grieving child needs to know that the world is still safe, life is good, and hurting hearts do mend. We can explain that grief and the feelings it evokes are normal responses to loss. We can reassure him that he is safe and much loved and will always be taken care of. We can encourage him to get the sadness out by sharing feelings and memories with trusted listeners. We can let him know that it takes time to get through grief, but there will come a time when it won’t hurt so much.”(FEELINGS)
