When Children Grieve: For Adults to Help Children Deal with Death, Divorce, Pet Loss, Moving, and Other Losses
Autor John W. James, Russell Friedman, Dr. Leslie Matthewsen Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 iun 2002
The first—and definitive—guide to helping children really deal with loss from the authors of the The Grief Recovery Handbook
Following deaths, divorces, pet loss, or the confusion of major relocation, many adults tell their children “don’t feel bad.” In fact, say the authors of the bestselling The Grief Recovery Handbook, feeling bad or sad is precisely the appropriate emotion attached to sad events. Encouraging a child to bypass grief without completion can cause unseen long-term damage.
When Children Grieve helps parents break through the misinformation that surrounds the topic of grief. It pinpoints the six major myths that hamper children in adapting to life’s inevitable losses. Practical and compassionate, it guides parents in creating emotional safety and spells out specific actions to help children move forward successfully.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
To watch a child grieve and not know what to do is a profoundly difficult experience for parents, teachers, and caregivers. Yet, there are guidelines for helping children develop a lifelong, healthy response to loss.
In When Children Grieve, the authors offer a cutting-edge volume to free children from the false idea of "not feeling bad" and to empower them with positive, effective methods of dealing with loss.
There are many life experiences that can produce feelings of grief in a child, from the death of a relative or a divorce in the family to more everyday experiences such as moving to a new neighborhood or losing a prized possession. No matter the reason or degree of severity, if a child you love is grieving, the guidelines examined in this thoughtful book can make a difference.

Notă biografică
Quand on meurt, ce qui importe le plus est la relation que l'on a entretenue avec sa famille et le fait d'avoir été une personne sur qui compter en cas de deuil. -John W. JamesJohn W. James a fondé le Grief Recovery Institute il y a plus de 40 ans. Il est né en Illinois et a connu beaucoup de joie et de peine dans sa vie, comme la plupart d'entre nous. Toutefois, la mort de son fils nouveau-né en 1977 a forcé John à redéfinir son but dans la vie. Accablé par le deuil, John ne pouvait trouver les ressources nécessaires pour l'aider à gérer la gamme d'émotions qui l'envahissaient après la mort de son enfant. Heureusement, il a su créer son propre processus d'accomplissement du deuil, d'où est né le Grief Recovery Method (méthode de rétablissement du deuil).À ce jour, l'Institute a pour mission de fournir une aide au rétablissement du deuil au plus grand nombre de personnes possible, dans les plus brefs délais. John est encore reconnu à l'échelle internationale comme l'une des plus grandes autorités sur le deuil et le rétablissement du deuil. Au cours de sa vie, il a été coauteur de plusieurs ouvrages de référence en matière de rétablissement à la suite d'une perte : The Grief Recovery Handbook; When Children Grieve; Moving On; Moving Beyond Loss; et The Grief Recovery Handbook for Pet Loss. Actuellement, l'Institute est associé à des affiliés au Mexique, en Suède, en Australie, en Hongrie et en Afrique.John W. James a passé sa vie à aider les autres, surtout sa famille. En fin de compte, le meilleur cadeau qu'il a su offrir à ses proches et aux personnes partout dans le monde est le Grief Recovery Method.
