We often ask ourselves how to explain to our children what death is and how to cope with it. But how can we do that, when we don't even know how to handle the feelings ourselves?
This book is a great tool to identify and manage the stages of grief. It shows easy steps and techniques to make this hard stage of life, the easiest possible. It is an easy to read, yet very well written book that will help you and your family during this hard time.
If you are experiencing the loss of a loved one, or know anyone who is going though this, and you don’t know how to help, this book is what you need to learn how to heal the wound in your heart.
The author’s education and professional experience truly show up in this outstanding work, helping not only the reader, but his whole environment to handle these tragic moments of life.
I honestly recommend this book to everyone, since we all will have to face these sad moments eventually and it is a very helpful guide to be prepared. I hope Veronica keeps writing guides like this one, I would love to read more of her work.
