Coping with Death

Parents and Caregivers,

Grieving a death is very difficult for children to completely understand and sometime very hard to explain when we ourselve are having a difficult time coping.  I've included some read alouds of a few of my favorite books for children about death and dying. Please feel free to reach out to me whenever you have a concern or there is something you'd like to share if your child is coping with a loss.
