商品簡介
This book is designed to help professionals, parents, and grief facilitators navigate faith-based strategies that will help children manage grief. Unknowingly and unaware of the long-term consequences of what our trusting children receive from us, we often provide a temporary fix or tell them something to quieten their questions. Please do not feel disheartened if this describes you because I did it too until my career as a forensic counselor, military and hospital chaplain dictated that I counsel grieving families. This book, which is my doctoral dissertation, will enable practitioners to feel comfortable telling children the truth and not a fairy tale that haunts them for life. The strategies suggested in this book will not leave children frightened and are not designed to be temporarily. One will find actual activities that are easy to implement. The ideas employed in this book represent a compilation of forty years of the author's career as a hospital and military chaplain and a man who wished such a resource existed when he had to manage childhood grief. The author's goal is to ensure that practitioners working with children will use this Christian-based resource as a counseling tool when working individually or in groups with grieving children.
