The language is gentle, thoughtful, and perfectly attuned to provide comfort to both parents and siblings during such a difficult time.

What sets this book apart are the parent tips across the pages. These serve as a compassionate guide for parents, offering practical advice on how to help their family cope with this profound loss. During a time when it may feel impossible to know what to do or say, these insights provide clarity and hope.

So well done. I worked with dying kids and their families in a children’s hospital for a long time and would have loved to have a resource like this when I was there. I love the parent tips. Beautiful work Vanessa!
