Chicagoland and the nation are tired of these kind of reports…more death due to gun violence.

There are just no more words.

To all who grieve this kind of death;

you are not alone,

you will walk through this,

you are cared for.

Your loved one’s life mattered.

When Something Terrible Happens is a great workbook for children to help them process a traumatic event. It makes it ‘easier’ for a parent, caregiver or teacher to talk with the child. It has plenty of space to draw, color and write about thoughts and feelings around the traumatic event.

After a Murder is another great workbook for caregivers to work together with children. It is produced by the Dougy Center, which is a leader in the nation on children’s grief.

Grief After Homicide is written by grief expert, Alan Wolfelt. I highly recommend all his books as they are comforting, easy to read and understand, insightful and encouraging.
