50 Ways to Cope with the Loss of Your Child
By Sawyers-kurz, Norma
Written from the perspective of one whose child passed away, this handbook presents mechanisms that parents may use to deal with their intense grief as well as counsel from doctors, professors, and other grief experts. Organized in a structure that roughly parallels the 10 stages of grieving—coping with shock and denial, emotions and loneliness, depression, panic, guilt, anger, physical manifestations of grief, life changes, engaging in meaningful activities, and affirming reality—this guide encourages parents to, among other things, carry on with day-to-day activities as much as possible, open up to family and friends, refrain from blaming innocent others, maintain a healthy lifestyle, help surviving children deal with the loss of their sibling, and consider donating time or resources to charity.

Talking With Children About Loss
By Maria, Trozzi,
Through captivating stories and thoughtful analysis, Maria Trozzi explains how to handle the difficult job of talking with children and adolescents about loss, with discussions about: * How children perceive and interpret events such as death, disability, and divorce * Guiding children through the four tasks of mourning * Helping children face funerals, wakes, and memorial services * Children's fears and fantasies: how they express them, and how to address them * Age-appropriate responses to children's questions and concerns * Talking to children about long-term illness, suicide, family or community tragedy, and other special situations * What to do when children won't talk about loss, and when to seek professional help "The wisdom, authenticity, and sheer presence of the author are evident from page one until the end of the beautifully written book. Terms like 'ground-breaking' and 'innovative' have been triviliazed by overuse. In this case they are deserved." -- Stan Turecki, M.D. , author of The Difficult Child
