Testimonials For Helping Children With Loss
To say it in one word, it would be liberating! It went beyond what I had expected and I can honestly say that I have learned so much, both about myself and about my kids. I feel I need to review it and reread the book a few times in order to get as much as I want out of it, but even through this 4-week period, I have gained so much from it, especially in ways of discovering and expressing emotions, listening with my heart and being an example to my kids and as well as a lot of unlearning to do, but it's a hopeful type of learning rather than overwhelming with too much to grasp. I'm very thankful for this program and all you have put into it and I feel better equipped to help my children when situations of grief come up, as well as things that they have been through in the past. There has not been a super hard and major event or loss in their lives yet, but I am extremely thankful that I have gone through this program now and I believe that this program is for everyone, not only those holding on to difficulties and pain. How much more can we be a help and support to relatives, friends, neighbors, kids we work with, our own children, etc. if we took a little time to learn more in this area, what you've learned and gone through and then how you put it so well into this book and program. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart.

The program was helpful in thinking about the myths we carry around about grief and recovery. I had a hard time with this idea of "completing" grief--doesn't seem to fit this idea that we live with the loss for a lifetime. I also think the program should consider how this process could work with children who are hesitant or resistant to talking about their grief, articulating forgiveness and apologies, etc. The examples used in the book were of children who readily spoke about their grief -- it's just not that easy in the real world, especially with teenagers. It was frustrating, at times, to read about strategies that can't just be put into place with children who won't talk.

This program was outstanding! It made me understand what my grandson is going through 2 years after losing his dad to suicide. The program helped me to listen with my heart and be understanding with him. I feel like we can pick up the pieces and start moving forward.

This program has helped me look at grief from a different angle. The myths have truly stuck with me and helped me be conscious of communicating with those who are grieving.

I have been able to learn the strategies of helping children to deal with their loss, as well as to help myself. I was able to learn about STERBS, which can keep me from facing and receiving the healing that my children and I need. I was given the word to help communicate with my children, which was extremely helpful.

Wow! This program has opened my eyes not only to the losses of my kids, but also to a lot of my own losses I never dealt with over the years. It has also opened my eyes to how we talk to our kids and always wanting to make things better for them, but it's ok to be sad, mad, and cry.

With school, church, and basically life closing, my social butterfly daughter turned into a worrywart. It felt like we were walking on eggshells around her. Now my husband and I are on the same page and able to support our daughter as a solid family unit. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I really appreciated going through the Helping Children Grieve book. I didn't realize how many incomplete processes I had to work through, and I didn't realize how many myths I have been haunted by throughout my life. Luckily, I am not a parent yet, but I feel more equip to help my future children as well as my clients. Thank you for your labor!

The book, When Children Grieve, opened my eyes as an educator, counselor, and parent. I appreciated the challenge of looking at things differently and how to handle grief with my family and students.
