Grief and Loss Charlie says he never understood just how sick his dad was until he died. Leia often visits her younger brother’s grave. Rosa can remember everything about the time her dog died, and Esmeralda was only four when her mother got sick with cancer. You Still Live in My Heart – About Grief and Loss is a book of interviews with children about loss, grief and absence. Sadness is described entirely from the child’s perspective and it’s unflinching, tragic, to the point, and at the same time filled with hope. Interspersed with the children’s stories are tips and advice as well as information about grief and how to work through it. There’s a lot of comfort to be found in this book of facts!
