Description:
Once Upon a Family (A Son?s Journey of Love, Loss, and Hope) by Pam Adams is the story of a young boy
who experiences the death of his father. This story, illustrated by pencil drawings, will be enjoyed by children of all ages.
An integrated self-help grief workbook guides children toward a better understanding of how their grief is affecting them.
Depression, Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, complicated grief, delayed grief, or inappropriate guilt often become a child?s
feelings as a result of the death of or separation from a parent or loved one. Puzzles, mazes, journals, and stories about
people who have used their losses to make the world a better place (Helen Keller, Marc Klaas, Joe Lychner, Ryan White, and
Michael J. Fox) will keep kids motivated to complete the workbook. The final section of the book includes practical advice
for adults who are working with grieving children. Whether it is the death of a family member, friend, or pet; divorce, decline
in health, or a parent who is serving his country in military service that represents a child?s loss, Once Upon a Family will
touch the lives of all who read it and soothe the grieving child who lives in us all.
