Heaven, Me and You: What Happens When Someone You Love Dies

The death of a loved one has to be processed, accepted and those who survive need to express themselves and their feelings in order to move on. It is challenging enough without having to endure the additional trauma of explaining it to a child, but unfortunately a lot of people have no other option. This book is a tool for parents to explain and to help you and your child cope with your circumstances in order to strengthen your bonds and to fortify you as a family for whatever comes next. Through the story of Maria, a little girl who is trying her best to cope with the death of her brother, this book highlights all the feelings, thoughts and emotions a child may experience. Maria, like most children, finds the concept of death complicated and it is difficult for her to communicate and convey what she is feeling at a time when she sees her mother struggling to cope. This is what stops her from asking questions and expressing her feelings. By fostering an affinity with Maria, we hope that this story encourages your children to ask you questions, relieve them of any misconceptions they may have about death and to help them feel secure and to be comfortable enough to confide their thoughts and feelings about their loss to you. As a book, Heaven Me and You, is unique in the way that it deals with the concept of death. Its purpose is to soothe and renew the reader's bonds with the person who died and to remind them that their loved one will always be loved.
