Talking with Children and Young People about Death and Dying

This sensitive workbook provides a gentle framework for helping children process grief and loss through guided conversations and activities. Mary Turner offers age-appropriate language and thoughtful exercises that help young people articulate the complex emotions surrounding death and dying. The format allows children and adults to work through the material together, creating a shared space for understanding difficult concepts. It serves as both a practical tool for opening dialogue and a comforting resource for navigating bereavement.

What distinguishes this approach is its dual perspective—speaking directly to children while equipping adults with the right words and methods. The activities are carefully designed to help young minds express confusion, sadness, and questions they might otherwise struggle to voice. Parents, counselors, and caregivers will find this particularly valuable when supporting children through the loss of a family member or friend. This resource transforms abstract concepts into manageable conversations, offering genuine comfort during life's most challenging moments.
